Morro Rock (Near Marina)
As of 2006, the Morro Bay State Park Marina had 123 boat slips. There are many small sailboats at the marina. It is managed by Associated Pacific Constructors. The marina is quite popular among boaters in the area. It should not be confused with Morro Bay Marina, a different establishment.
Single and double kayaks may be rented at the State Park Marina’s “Kayak Shack”, as well as canoes for up to four adults. At The Helm Boat Rentals rents eighteen-foot electric boats elsewhere on Morro Bay. All of these boats are quiet, so they don’t disturb the bay’s abundant wildlife.
There is a small restaurant which is part of the marina, called the Bayside Cafe. It sells seafood and locally produced wine. A bench and umbrellas can be seen outside the Cafe, and it has large windows so that customers enjoy a beautiful view. It provides a convenient option for dining after a boating excursion.
Central Coast Outdoors offers kayak tours in Morro Bay, starting at the State Park Marina. They also operate bicycle and hiking tours in the area. The company has taken many steps to reduce its environmental impact in recent years, and donates to numerous charities and environmental groups.
The State Park also offers an eighteen hole golf course, a Museum of Natural History, and hiking trails. Another nearby attraction is Morro Rock, a State Historic Landmark. Morro Rock is 576 feet (175 meters) tall and stands along the narrow waterway connecting the bay to the Pacific Ocean. Its appearance is quite impressive, especially from the water.
The park’s Museum of Natural History is open 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, as is the gift shop. It provides exhibits, lectures, puppet shows, and other things to do. There is a Chumash (Native American) garden next to the museum. The museum’s telephone number is 805-772-2694.
The Inn at Morrow Bay
The Inn at Morro Bay is also very near to the marina. It has two restaurants and a spa, where various types of massage are available. Diners can see a view of the bay and Morro Rock while eating dinner or brunch. Weddings may be held in one of three rooms at the Inn.
The city of Morro Bay features a number of inns and hotels, as well as restaurants and many places to shop. There is a yacht club as well. The bay is known for its many types of birds, including some endangered species. The Morro Bay State Park Marina is at 10 State Park Road.
