581 feet tall ♦ named "El Morro" in 1542 by Portuguese explorer Juan Cabrillo. The Chumash people can climb Morro Rock for their annual solstice-ceremony, but it is illegal for anyone else to climb.
Free admission , natural beauty, and a peaceful setting , all against the backdrop of a mountain sprouting straight from the sea.
If you want to climb up the rocks, the view from above is really cool! Just be careful, because not all the rocks are stable .
One of the nine sisters. A string of volcanoes that dominate the areas landscape. Great place to visit.
So beautiful here. Went on a Saturday and parking was easy to find. Fun to bring a blanket and sit on the rocks or beach looking at the ocean. Make sure to go around to the back side of rock!
named in 1542 by Portuguese navigator Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, who called the rock "El Moro" because it resembled the head of a Moor, the people from North Africa known for the turbans they wore.
Beautiful sights of the ocean and other scenery. Just be careful if you decide to go climbing on the rocks, and don't let children try.
What's so great about a rock? It's actually a volcano plug and it is HUGE! Lots of seabirds nest there, too. It's a sight to behold!
Friendly squirrels and other nature creatures! Free to see and park !
Go for the hike but.. Stay for the baby otters . Super cute !
Don't climb the rock! It's illegal except for a certain tribe on the solstice.
Huge rock in the middle of the sea! Very nice view
If you visit please do not feed the squirrels or seagulls !!! Thank you! ~All locals*
Beautiful spot and views of Morro bay.
Peaceful and Relaxing
pretty cool place to checkout.its like uluru ayers rock
A huge rock !!!!
This volcano plug is home to lots of birds and is so massive it kind of boggles the mind!
Not too many tourists , great views and calm surf .
The ground squirrels are so fun to watch. They love carrot slices and will take them out of your hand.
Very pretty area. Big waves.
Interesting place to stop on your way. But if you're short on time, skip.
Leave the car and walk from town .
Fantastic Place...great view .
My dog loves it by The Rock here
It is illegal to climb the rock. Just so you know…
Bring bread to feed the squirrels ! Make squirrely friends!
On the south side you will see sea otters frolicking
An excellent off leash dog beach by Morro Rock
Awesome extinct volcano core. There are usually otters in the water nearby.
Don't feed the squirrels . It makes them aggressive enough that they'll bite your hand.
The dog loves to sniff and squat at the rock
Try to capture the wave in front of rocks
Seagulls by the hundreds all over the rock
Dolphins, oh my!
Watch above you, birds everywhere
it's like Niigata
Awesome. Totally awesome

Great views of the rock and in the winter there are lots of otter pups in the water you can see from the shore. - eric bornemann
Best fish & chips I've had in a long time. Light batter, fresh cod & great with a beer. - Sarah Liz
BBQ oysters and tacos are great! It can get a little crazy and backed up on the weekend so go in the week if you can - Jessica Delaney
I could have stayed here all day! The seals are so fun to watch and they are super close to the boardwalk. They also have informative guides walking around, answering questions. - Rachel Wolfe
