  • Rent a bike (standard or electric), gift a surf lesson or set up an e-bike tour through Cal Coast Adventures.
  • Central Coast Outdoors has been hosting hiking, biking and kayaking tours (a few self-guided) throughout the central coast since 2003.
  • At Bay Cruisers you can rent electric boats on the bay. Soon, you’ll have the option of trying out Electric Hydrofoils. 
  • Estero Adventures offers electric pontoon boat rental in addition to kayaks, bikes and more.
  • Morro Bay Paddlesports  has an array of standup paddle board lessons if you are gifting, or were gifted, a shiny new SUP for the holidays. They also offer an interesting array of kayak tours and a nature tour on an 8-person SUP.

  • Book whale watching tours or a bay tour on a clear-bottomed boat at  Sub Sea Tours.
  • Gift your loved one a chartered yacht, hour-long excursions to overnight get-aways, from Toast the Coast. Hopefully, they’ll invite you along!
  • Prefer to stay on land? Tour the coast on a scooter from Central Coast Carts. Staff will help you select two-, three-, or four-wheeled carts depending on the size of your group and your tour needs.
  • The Museum of Natural History in the Morro Bay State Park, is a great excursion for people of all ages. Fun, educational, and interactive exhibits cover the natural habitats of the area. After touring the museum, there’s a number of gentle walks in the surrounding area where you may see some of the wildlife from the exhibits.
  • Finally, if you are looking for a low-cost experience this season, consider packing a picnic and heading out to one of the many state parks for a day. Whether you are planning for a group with young children, physical limitations, or one looking for an intense workout, the Central Coast State Parks Association’s website is a great starting point for planning your day.
