Morro Bay, Calif., is a seaside fishing village maintaining its untouched, small-town feel despite the droves of tourists visiting California each year. This picturesque getaway is perfect for a quiet beach vacation with family and friends.
Check out Black Hill for a quick hike with a view. The three-mile, round-trip walk from the Morro Bay State Park to Black Hill shows off the woodsy side of the area. Within the park there is a saltwater marsh perfect for bird watching, fishing and kayaking.
Quaint shopping and dining locations are scattered throughout the town, but the best location for visitors to populate is Morro Beach. The Morro Rock is prominently visible on the beach and often there is always plenty or parking and stretch of beach to explore.
Easily host beach barbeques with help from Beach Butlerz. Right on Morro Beach, this party planning company can supply food, a beach bonfire, chairs, umbrellas and more. Guests just have to choose a service from the party planning capabilities, pick a beach and the Butlerz will set it up. For anyone local or traveling to the area with a special event in mind, this service can really help make it relaxing.
