Visit Morro Bay State Park

For nature lovers, Morro Bay State Park is a must-visit during Memorial Day Weekend. Located just a short drive from Ascot Suites, the park is a hub for outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and boating. You can explore the park’s diverse landscapes, from the saltwater marshes to scenic hillsides. Take a walk along the park’s trails to enjoy views of Morro Rock and the bay, or rent a kayak or paddleboard to experience the area from the water. This is the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh air and beauty of the California coast while making the most of your Memorial Day weekend. 

Relax at Morro Strand State Beach

If you’re looking to enjoy some beach time, Morro Strand State Beach is just a few minutes away from Ascot Suites. This beach offers wide sandy expanses and a quieter atmosphere compared to some of the more tourist-heavy beaches along California’s coast. Spend your day lounging in the sun, walking along the shoreline, or even having a picnic with panoramic views of Morro Rock. The beach is also great for surfing and boogie boarding if you’re up for some fun in the waves. Memorial Day Weekend is a great time to visit, as the weather is typically sunny and perfect for beach activities. 

Discover Local Wildlife at the Elfin Forest

For something a bit more unique, head to the Elfin Forest Natural Area for a quiet and scenic walk through one of Morro Bay’s hidden gems. This small forest of ancient, wind-sculpted trees offers visitors a peaceful escape into nature, with trails that lead to stunning viewpoints overlooking the bay and the surrounding landscape. Birdwatching is also a popular activity here, as the area is home to a wide variety of migratory birds. A visit to Elfin Forest is the perfect way to get away from the crowds and experience the natural beauty of Morro Bay in a tranquil setting. 

Explore Downtown Morro Bay and Local Art Galleries

Morro Bay’s charming downtown area is a great place to spend an afternoon exploring during Memorial Day Weekend. Stroll along the waterfront, browse local shops, and visit the many art galleries that showcase local artists. Morro Bay has long been an inspiring place for artists, and the town is home to many galleries featuring paintings, sculptures, and photography inspired by the natural beauty of the coast. As a guest at Ascot Suites, you’ll be just a short walk from the downtown area, where you can enjoy local coffee shops, casual dining spots, and artisan boutiques. 

Take a Scenic Boat Tour

One of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of Morro Bay is from the water, and there are several boat tour companies offering tours of the bay. Whether you prefer a kayak rental, a paddleboarding excursion, or a guided whale watching tour, Morro Bay offers ample opportunities to explore its waterways. These tours will allow you to get close to local wildlife, including sea otters, harbor seals, and a variety of bird species, while taking in the magnificent views of Morro Rock and the surrounding coastline. It’s the perfect Memorial Day Weekend activity for those who want to make the most of the bay’s unique coastal ecosystem.
