Why Live in Morro Bay

Morro Bay, located on California’s Central Coast, is a picturesque seaside fishing village about 15 miles from San Luis Obispo. Known for its stunning coastal landscape, the town features the iconic Morro Rock, part of the volcanic Nine Sisters chain, rising from the Pacific Ocean beside a sandy beach and a quaint downtown harbor. The area offers ample opportunities for water recreation, including sailing, surfing, fishing, and birdwatching. With a population of roughly 11,000, Morro Bay attracts retirees, families, and young professionals, many of whom work remotely or in the local service and hospitality industries. The community is tight-knit, with residents looking out for each other despite the influx of tourists.

Morro Bay boasts extensive natural attractions, such as the 6-mile stretch of Morro Rock Beach and Morro Strand State Beach, ideal for swimming, surfing, and whale watching. The 2,700-acre Morro Bay State Park offers wetlands and marshes that attract around 250 migratory bird species, along with trails leading to Black Hill and Cerro Cabrillo. The park also features a marina, an 18-hole golf course, and the Morro Bay Museum of Natural History.

Housing in Morro Bay ranges from mid-20th-century beach bungalows and coastal cottages near the Embarcadero to newer custom homes on rolling hills with water views. The median home price is around $955,000, with oceanfront properties and elevated homes commanding higher prices. The Embarcadero is the hub for boutique shopping and fresh seafood dining, with local markets offering daily catches.

Morro Bay is part of the highly rated San Luis Coastal Unified School District, recognized as the best in San Luis Obispo County. The area also enjoys lower-than-average property and violent crime rates.
