About Morro Bay State Park

Along the northeastern and eastern edges of Morro Bay lagoon, the park contains saltwater and brackish marshes that sustain large bird populations. The land sits on the lagoon itself, on California's Central Coast, where the mix of fresh and salty water forms the marsh habitat the park protects.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
