Morro Strand State Beach Details
This beach along the north part of Morro Bay is a quiet but scenic place to stop for lunch. There are several picnic sites right on the coast, so you will be able to enjoy your meal while being surrounded by monstrous rock formations and rugged cliffs. Fishing and surfing are also allowed on the beach, and guests are more than welcomed to spend a few nights at one of the campsites on the property. Waking up in the morning and walking along the 3-mile Morro Strand Trail, which snakes next to the ocean, is a great way to spend the day.
