Quick Facts

History & Context

Morro Rock The longest street of the city runs from Acacia on the south to Zanzibar on the north. It begins at Morro Bay State Park and goes to Morro Strand State Beach. The back-bay or estuary is a nursery for eighty percent of the sea life along the Central Coast. This is also a bird sanctuary, so bring binoculars to enjoy the variety of bird species. The Museum of Natural History and the Heron Rookery, located within the State Park, are worth the time to visit. No one is allowed inside the rookery, but from the edge you can see the adult and nestling Great Blue Herons among the eucalyptus trees. If you visit between October and March, look for the Monarch butterflies that also nest in these trees.
