Montana De Oro is just south of Morro Bay.

After launching from the small beach at Spooners Cove, you should paddle west until you are beyond the finger rocks and extending reefs on the south side of the cove. From here paddling south is most interesting. There are many interesting rocky coves you can explore. Between many of the coves there are finger rocks with submerged reefs that extend further west--similar to the reef on the south side of Spooners Cove. You may need to paddle out around these reefs as set waves may break on them.

There are also many hiking trails in Montana De Oro State Park. You can use the Bluff Trail to scout out the coast before you Kayak.

--Restrooms and a campground is located here.
