10 Unique Boutique Waterfront Hotels in Morro Bay
If you’re visiting the Central Coast, stop in Morro Bay for some beachy relaxation and adventure. The cute beach town is the perfect spot to lounge on the sand and watch sea otters play, while dining on seafood such as fresh-cracked crab at delicious local restaurants. (We’re fans of The Galley Seafood Grill and Bar.)
You can also take a tour of a historic submarine, go paddle-boarding, kayaking, and shop at artisan boutiques. Morro Bay is a short drive from Hearst Castle, beautiful sea-view hikes, and elephant seal watching! Travelers visiting Morro Bay will love the unique waterfront hotel options, each with its own special niche and theme. Here are 10 one-of-a-kind boutique waterfront hotels for the ultimate Central Coast vacation.
