We walked to this area in the Morro Bay State Park but you really can't see a whole lot from the ground through the trees. The best way to see the birds was from a small boat (we hired Morro Bay Landing - Capt Mike). We took a small boat we chartered for only $15 and were able to see... More 

Short and sweet. If you want to get in a quick hike overlooking the bay.. Easy to park and hike. It was an amazing mecca of bird life and even saw a doe munching on a bush.. So sweet. Located close to the golf course. Met some lovely travelers here as well.

very cool place a must see stayed @ inn@ morrobay right next to the rookery the cooing & noises of herons & the cormorants was great to listen very cool place indeed

Everything in Morro Bay was fantastic. The $10.00 cruise around the bay, the beaches, the shops, the proximity of our hotel to all the fun spots. Even the side street pubs, and shops were great. A special eating place was Hungary Fisherman, we had a great breakfast, and A1 service. The Breeze Inn was terrible, dirty, smelled, and service was... More 

Really interesting when viewed from the water by tour boat, kayak or paddle board. Really stinky when viewed from land!
