Overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Highway 1, just west of 101, are the seaside communities of Morro Bay and Los Osos.

Morro Bay Harbor is home to one of California's largest and most productive commercial fishing fleets and provides area restaurants and fish markets with the freshest of seafood.

Morro Bay is also a bird sanctuary providing a nourishing habitat to more than two dozen threatened and endangered species. The last estuary of its kind between Mexico and Northern California, Morro Bay is a major stop of the Pacific flyway. More than 70 migratory bird species make their winter home here.

Just a few miles down the road is Los Osos, gateway to the magnificent Montana de Oro State Park. The parks' name, meaning Mountain of Gold, is believed to have come from the color of the hillsides in spring. Today, Montana de Oro is home to over 8,000 acres of rugged wilderness and jagged coastline. One of the state's most breathtaking parks, it is a favorite of hikers, bicyclists, campers, and surfers.
