Moonstone Beach Boardwalk

Cappie’s Scoop: Hikes along the beach are really nice but I wish I could go down to the beach and run into the water! This time I could only look at the beach from the boardwalk since no dogs are allowed on the beach. The boardwalk is really nice and there were still a lot of great smells! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: We started our hike on Moonstone Beach Dr. where the trail begins at the south end. It’s mostly a wooden boardwalk trail which is fun! Once the trail reaches the bluff, you have a view of the ocean. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the beach. At the time of this post, about one mile in, the trail is closed for repairs to the boardwalk. We were only able to hike 2 miles RT.

Directions: From the town of Morro Bay, head north on CA-1 for about 21 miles. Then turn left onto Windsor Blvd and then a quick right onto Moonstone Beach Dr. There is a small dirt turnout/parking area immediately on your left just after you pass the El Colibri Hotel and Spa. The trail starts at the far end of the dirt lot away from the hotel.
