Explore the Morro Bay Sandspit
Starting at the Rock, the Morro Bay Sandspit is four miles long. On a busy day, you'll find 20 people exploring it. Lost Isle Adventure Tours http://www.lostisleadventures.com on the docks just south of us, provides shuttle service from Giovanni's fish market to the sandspit.
Explore the back bay
The best way to explore the Morro Bay estuary is to rent kayaks or electric boats. The weather on the bay changes frequently from glassy calm to choppy and dangerous. On any day, strong tidal currents are a problem. You need to time your adventures to the tides. Much of Morro Bay is mudflat at low tide. Check out Sub Sea Tours and Kayaks http://www.subseatours.com for rentals, guided tours, whale watching, and good advice on where and when to go in the bay.
Whale Watching
Whales, mainly Gray and Humpback whales appear seasonally close to shore here. This year a pod of giant Blue Whales lingered for over a month within a mile of the harbor entrance. A rare visit.
Wave Watching
Huge waves, generated by fierce storms in the Gulf of Alaska frequently attack our harbor jetty in the winter months.
Surfing

Bird Watching
Morro Bay is on the Pacific Flyway, and it's a strategic wintering stop for hundreds of bird species.
