This beautiful state park campground is across the road from the beach.
Reviewed By LB1_FJ - Long Beach, United States
So we camped two nights at the State Park, it was great! Easy 3 minute walk to the preserve. The campsite was nice, had power and water hook ups, quick drive to the one dump station. The site has bathrooms and pay to use showers (terrible shower tho haha, idk how to the hot water worked and I froze). The campsite had a lot of dirt and we managed to track in the RV, so maybe bring a rug or dirt trapper. The sites all had fire rings, nice picnic tables and stone bbq's (separate from the fire ring). Like I said the preserve was a very short walk away, they have a couple trails and wood deck walk ways that lead up to the bay and magnificent sunset views. There is a little harbor with boats and a harbor side cafe, with awesome nachos, chicken tenders and MUD PIE (yummm). Super easy 20 minute walk to the wharf. Lots of shops and restaurants. We stopped in for wine tasting and also got a beer at the brewery. Super cute town. I would definitely highly recommend the state park and also camping. Keep in mind we were here in December and it got COLD over night. Make sure you bring warm clothes and that your heater works if you're in a RV. There is a camp host onsite and they sell fire wood.

This place is certainly a 'must-see', with changing exhibits and an intense focus on local natural history, I would rate this as one of the 2 best museums on the Central Coast.

7. Morro Strand State Beach

Reviewed By A7731CBphilh
We went there on Christmas Day 2020 and went when the tide was going out - the perfect time for collecting sand dollars - as there were thousands of them everywhere! Small (free) parking lot at the beach and a short walk through the sandy trail gets you to the wide open beach which was pretty empty of people. Note that dogs are not allowed on the beach (though we saw some people out there with dogs, who may have walked over from neighboring beaches where dogs are allowed). When you go, be ready for potential winds (i.e., you may want to check the tides and weather before going).
