Morro Bay, California is full of history
and brimming with
great shops, sites and adventure. We live in Cambria and next to
Cambria the bay is our favorite place to shop, eat and enjoy
long walks on the beach.
The Bay is a special place on the Central Coast of California.
If you are looking for a fishing trip, fine dinning or a walk on a
beautiful beach... the bay is the place to go.
The Rock is absolutely incredible. You
have to get up close to the rock in order to fully appreciate its size
and splendor.
Birds circling, waves crashing, surfers
surfing and a cool breeze in your face is what you get when you
visit the rock. It is spectacular.
The first time I visited the rock I couldn't
believe my eyes. This
gigantic bolder bulging up out
of the water sparked my imagination. It looked like a space
ship. It seemed like a mistake. Why did this rock
just pop up next to land. I had lived on the Gulf Coast of
Mississippi but I had never seen anything so majestic.
My wife took took me to the parking area next
to the rock and I was
astounded at the amount of sea gulls on and around this big old
rock. I mean to tell you, I had never in my life seen so many sea
gulls.
When you visit the Bay make sure to
take time to drive out
to the rock. The beach is beautiful, the birds
fascinating and the rock is unbelievable.
The Fishing Village!
Fishing boats nestled against the pier of
the embarcadero remind me of days past when the bay was a thriving
fishing village.
Unique little shops with unique
products, sail boats, fishing rigs and seals line
the beautiful bay.
The smell of salt air and fresh fish
mingled with the scent of cooking food makes the bay different and
wonderful to visit.
When visiting this area you can't help
but notice the stacks. Maybe the stacks were the mistake.
If you have never been on a fishing trip
in the Pacific now is the time. You can charter a boat and fish
till your nets are full.
You can go whale watching or just rent a
kayak and take a slow ride through the bay. Regardless of what
you choose to do in Morro Bay you will have the time of your life.
One of the best places in Morro Bay to
charter a fishing boat or go whale watching is Verg's Landing.

The Stacks
My comment when
seeing the stacks,"what in the world are those?" They just didn't
fit into the landscape. How weird to put three big poles up in
the middle of paradise.
After five years I am still amazed they
actually put those things up. I have never seen any other down,
in any state, with three stacks rising into the sky. It is a
paradox, something so ugly in the middle of something so wonderful and
natural.
Today I believe the stacks are actually
becoming
a landmark for the town. If you would like to know more about the

DO

First you have to go to the Rock and

the rock you can see the sights of fishing, Sea Otters and much more.
While in the bay you have to take a leisurely stroll along the

salt water taffy. There is so much to do and see in this

STAY
- The bay has a wide
selection of motels and Bed & Breakfast. You might be
interested in camping in one of the state parks. Don't worry
there are plenty of places to stay. Vacation rentals are also
available. The motels and hotels in Morro Bay stay book so make sure
you make your reservations in advance. I suggest you use Kayak to
set your reservations.
EAT-
We drove to the Bay just the other day. It is a beautiful drive from
Cambria to the Bay. We stopped and had the best fish and chips at
one of the local places, right on the bay. We watched an otter
swim by and then spotted a seal. If you like to watch sea life
and eat, this is the place. The bay also host a number of places
to eat. Fine dining, casual dining or maybe just a quick hamburger,
whatever
you are hungry for is located in our unique list of eateries.
Some of the restaurants will even allow your dog to dine with
you.
