Morro Bay Harbor Department

Otters holding their pups, sea lions barking, and that majestic rock...a wonderful place to be!

Beautiful year round, day or night!

A highly qualified staff for managing the diverse population of visitors, boaters and seasonal guests who boat, SUP, surf, paddle kayaks, fish or enjoying the many different types of waterways Morro Bay has to offer. The Harbor department has a demanding job in a very high risk environment on the Central Coast of California. Their staff are highly trained in boat operations and water rescue, some of the best in the country. Becka Kelly is an outstanding Public Agency representative who cares deeply about the safety of others and is highly skilled in boat operations, proud to know her. If the harbor department tells you not to head out, listen to them, you don't want to kill yourself or become a statistic, choose the day, make sure you are ready to meet it and are well prepared, an you will have an outstanding experience! All Boaters visiting Morro Bay Waters, whether in the harbor or venturing outside need to take a safe boating course, be knowledgeable of the tides and weather and carry all and possibly more emergency gear than they would elsewhere due to the risks of the ocean here and its seasonal changes. The staff is well rounded and they have an incredible local knowledge they put to use during rescue call outs and have an strong mutual aid response with the fire department and USCG. SUP and kayak folks should pay close attention to wind and red flag warnings and all should wear (not carry) a USCG approved lifejacket, including their pets.

Always liked Morrow Bay, been a visitor for 30 years. That is until you meet up with the New Harbor Patrol. The Supervisor, Becka, told me I was pissing her off and If I don't like it I should go back to Ventura. Wow, what a beacon of public relations. Like the previous post, I understand why local people despise HP now. This is what happens when you give the wrong people a little bit of power.
