MORRO BAY
Under the shadow of famous Morro Rock, this laid-back
fishing town welcomes visitors of all ages and stages to its
shores. For classic beachy flavor, get to the Embarcadero
for the freshest fish and chips and saltwater taffy. Or take
kayaks out for a cruise across the estuary, catching sight
of sea otters, seals, marine birds and maybe even a whale
off in the distance.
Where to Stay: Family lodging is the name of the game
with hotels, RV resorts, comfortable vacation rentals and
romantic getaways with views of the ocean.
PISMO BEACH . SHELL BEACH
Sun and salty fun endear these classic California beach communities to visitors and
locals alike. If surfing, lounging or people watching are your jam, get to the Pismo
Pier, where clam chowder and seafood eateries shine. At nearby Shell Beach, explore
tidepools or head out on a stand-up paddleboard for serenity on the sea. And don’t
miss the thousands of Monarch Butterflies that make their home in Pismo’s Monarch
Butterfly Grove each winter.
Where to Stay: Take your pick from a variety of RV parks or book your stay at any of
the hotels, vacation rentals or oceanfront resorts near the boardwalk.
