More About Baywood Park
Baywood Park is a laid-back, unincorporated community on the quiet south shore of Morro Bay, where the Central Coast slows down to the pace of the tides. Where to start:
- Baywood Way waterfront. The small main street runs down to the bay, with cafés, shops and a short pier that's ideal for a stroll at sunset.
- Paddling the estuary. Calm water and sandy channels make Morro Bay a favorite for kayaking and paddleboarding, with sea otters, herons and harbor seals often in view.
- Elfin Forest Natural Area. A boardwalk winds through rare, knee-high pygmy oaks, with overlooks across the estuary toward Morro Rock.
- Montaña de Oro State Park. Rugged bluffs, tide pools and hiking trails are about a 10-minute drive away, and spring wildflowers color the hillsides.
