Montaña de Oro State Park

Montaña de Oro State Park Review

Instead of continuing north on U.S. 101/Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay, consider detouring west along Los Osos Valley Raod past farms and ranches to Montaña de Oro State Park, where miles of nature trails traverse rocky shoreline, wild beaches, and hills that overlook dramatic scenery. Check out the tide pools, watch the waves roll into the bluffs, and picnic in the eucalyptus groves. From Montaña de Oro you can reach Morro Bay by following the coastline along South Bay Boulevard 8 miles through the quaint residential villages of Los Osos and Baywood Park.
