Morro Rock Natural Preserve is home to a pair of peregrine falcons who can often be seen flying about their eyrie. Surf fishing, surfing and beachcombing are popular pastimes here at the base of famous Morro Rock. Morro Rock is located at the northern end of the Embarcadero in the city of Morro Bay. Pismo State Beach - North Beach Campground is a favorite area for Monarch butterflies to overwinter from November to February. There are docent-led walks every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the season and a 104 site developed campground with hot showers.
Reservations are available from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
