Morro Bay is defined by Morro Rock, one of the most recognizable landmarks on the Central Coast, and its working harbor and estuary.
Local Context
Morro Rock and the Morro Bay estuary give this town a visual identity unlike anywhere else in the county. Businesses along the Embarcadero waterfront, fishing and harbor operations, and hospitality properties overlooking the bay frequently request aerial footage that includes the Rock as a recognizable anchor point in the frame.
Where We Fly in Morro Bay
Most Morro Bay flights are planned around the Embarcadero waterfront and the estuary, both of which sit near sensitive habitat that requires extra care and, in some cases, additional permission before flying.
