Morro Strand State Beach (formerly Atascadero State Beach) is a protected beach within California's state park system located in north Morro Bay along California State Route 1. Morro Strand is a popular coastal frontage park on Estero Bay featuring the Morro Strand Trail and picnic sites. A three-mile stretch of beach connects the southern and northern entrances to the beach. Dogs are prohibited in part due to the nesting and protection of the Western Snowy Plover. Fishing, surfing, beach walking, and jogging are popular activities.
β°It's a great place to take πΈpictures with the feeling of seeing Moro Rock from a distance and the background. π I also liked the feel of the beach. ππ
A ton of sand dollars. Pretty flat beach and plants. Morro Rock looks more beautiful as you approach it and can see all its crooks and crannies.
What's up with all the dead jellyfish along the shore??? I've never seen anything like this before but is this normal? I stopped counting at 30 but there's a lot more. Strong smell from the beach and a lot of sand lice so we didn't sit on them. Saw couple of dead birds washed too. There were garbage tangled on the seaweeds along the shore. Diapers, water bottles, plastics. People feed the squirrel so they're not scared of human. They tried to sneak in our shopping bag, looking for food. I saw birds trying to eat water bottle caps thinking there were food. It's a beautiful place but so sad what people did to it. There were sand dollars for people collecting. We found most of them on the shoreline.
