Estero Bluffs State Park (West)
About
Estero Bluffs State Park (West) is a public ocean beach in California, about 3.6 miles from the town of Cayucos. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on visiting for time along the shore rather than a dip in the water. There is no fee to visit, and dogs are not allowed. The weather stays mild year-round. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Morro Bay show highs around 65 to 67°F from December through May, with summer and early fall warming to the low 70s. September and October bring the most comfortable mix of warmth and almost no wet days. For more to do nearby, Morro Bay Harbor and Breakwater Boulder offer climbing about 7.5 miles away, and Morro Bay State Park Campground is about 8.3 miles off. The Cinnabar Rock Trail is roughly 9.4 miles away.
