Elfin Forest Preserve
The Elfin Forest in Morro Bay is a unique and enchanting natural area located just a few miles from the city's downtown. This ecological reserve features a 90-acre forest of dwarfed coast live oak trees that are over 200 years old, many of which only reach about waist-high. The forest is situated on a sand dune and provides a habitat for a variety of plant and animal species, including birds, insects, and rare plants
Visitors can explore the forest via a 0.5-mile boardwalk trail that winds through the trees, offering stunning views of the forest and the estuary below.
