Morro Bay Maritime Museum

The Morro Bay Maritime Museum has established itself as a positive force in contributing to Morro Bay’s economy and maritime village sense-of-place.  We invite you to come see the Historic tug Alma and learn about an event that brought WWII to our shores.  Or walk around the DSRV Avalon, one of only two cold-war era rescue submarines developed by the US Navy and featured in the 1990 film Hunt for Red October and the 2018 film Hunter Killer. You can also see a USCG Surf Rescue Boat that was stationed at the small boat station and serviced the sometimes impassable Morro Bay harbor entrance.  But wherever your interest lay, please come and visit Morro Bay and stay awhile. And while you’re here, visit the Morro Bay Maritime Museum at 1210 Embarcadero across from the south T-Pier, on the Morro Bay waterfront. Stop by and say hello and soak up history at the edge of the continent!
