MORRO STRAND
Just outside our campground, Morro Strand beach extends from Morro Rock up to Cayucos. Its full length is about nine miles, but any length makes for a great beach walk at low tide.

SANDSPIT HIKE
From the trailhead in Los Osos, we hiked to the Morro Bay sandspit, the sand dune that separates the bay from the open ocean. Sorry, Jeff, next time we'll hike to the end of the spit!
