The town’s waterfront is the perfect place to soak in the holiday atmosphere. You’ll find local cafés serving up delicious pastries and coffee to start your day. As you walk along the shore, enjoy views of the famous Morro Rock, the town’s iconic landmark.

If you’re feeling adventurous, rent a kayak or paddleboard to get out on the water. The morning is peaceful, making it the perfect time to explore the bay before the day’s events begin. 

Grab a Bite to Eat at a Local Cafe

After a relaxing morning, it’s time to refuel with a delicious breakfast or brunch. Morro Bay has a variety of cafés and restaurants that offer fresh, local ingredients with a laid-back, coastal feel. Head to Windows on the Water, a popular spot that offers fresh seafood and stunning views of Morro Rock. If you’re looking for something casual, Tognazzini’s Dockside Restaurant offers great breakfast options with the charm of a seaside diner. 

For a more leisurely brunch experience, The Galley Seafood Grill & Bar offers a cozy atmosphere with a focus on local seafood. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast or light bite, Morro Bay’s restaurants are sure to offer a memorable meal. 

Relax and Explore the Natural Beauty of Morro Bay

Spend the afternoon enjoying the stunning landscapes that make Morro Bay such a special place. Take a short drive or stroll to Morro Bay State Park, a 2-minute drive from Ascot Suites, where you can explore scenic trails, birdwatch, or enjoy a peaceful picnic by the water. If you’re a nature lover, this is the perfect place to embrace the outdoors. You can also explore Morro Strand State Beach for more beach time, or simply relax at the hotel with a view of Morro Rock from the rooftop terrace. 

If you’re interested in local wildlife, take a tour of Morro Bay Estuary to see migrating birds and marine life. The area is a haven for birdwatching, and the serene environment makes it a great place to unwind before the evening festivities. 

Enjoy the 4th of July Festivities

As evening approaches, it’s time for the Morro Bay 4th of July fireworks show. Head to Morro Rock or The Embarcadero for a great view of the fireworks over the bay. The Morro Bay Fireworks show is a local favorite, and watching it from the waterfront adds to the charm of the evening. Grab a blanket and some snacks, or simply relax and enjoy the show with family or friends. 

At Ascot Suites, you’re just a short drive away from the fireworks action, so you can easily access all the best viewing spots in Morro Bay. The town’s relaxed vibe means you can enjoy the show without the crowds found at larger events. It’s a fantastic way to end the day surrounded by natural beauty and good company.
