Things to see and do Central Coast

It's unavoidable when you visit Morro Bay. This national park includes the bay of Morro Bay and its famous Morro Rock, as well as the museum of natural history and marina. This is the ideal place for sailing, fishing, bird watching. You choose to visit it from land in randonnant or by sea, in kayaking.

In addition to the gardens, the main attraction is Louis Stevenson House. It is in this Victorian house that Robert Louis Stevenson dropped anchor time to find the inspiration for its L'Ile masterpiece with the Treasury. He spent there a few months during 1879, still unknown. A stroll in the peninsula of Monterey inspired the design of its imaginary island.

Caution: take care to call before your visit to check the opening of Louis Stevenson's House. The house has been closed to the public due to budgetary restrictions, and does not open longer in summer, thanks to the help of volunteers of the region.

The largest dunes in California are the favourite quad game. You can also take horse rides.

A wooden pontoon from which you can fish, a clean beach where you can play volleyball and tan in peace. Stop in one of the small restaurants near the seafront to try the very Californian clam clam, the soup of clams served in soft bread. Unfortunately, due to the gradual disappearance of local hulls, conservators are forced to import from the East Coast, but they are equally good. In October the annual festival of hulls is held.

To make beautiful walks, watching whales or picnic. In spring, the mountain is fully covered with wild flowers.
