Morro Rock Beach

Morro Rock at low tide. Photo taken from offshore by Mike Baird. The south side of Morro Rock from the entrance of Montaña de Oro State Park Morro Rock is a volcanic plug located just offshore from Morro Bay, California, at the entrance to Morro Bay Harbor. A causeway connects it with the shore, effectively making it a tied island. The area surrounding the base of Morro Rock can be visited. The rock is protected as the Morro Rock State Preserve. Climbing on the rock or disturbing the bird life is forbidden by law.
