Morro Bay implementing paid parking at one lot

September 13, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

The City of Morro Bay plans to charge people to park their vehicles at the boat launching parking lot located on the south end of the Embarcadero.

Since 2009, the Morro Bay Harbor Department has charged $10 a day to park boat trailers while regular vehicles were free. The plan is to charge $5 for regular vehicles and $10 for boat trailers.

Before the parking fees are implemented, the city needs to install signage and purchase a new paid parking machine.

I don’t have a problem with parking fees… we are now a tourist town and every tourist town I’ve been to charges for parking… you are lucky we don’t install parking meters…

“We”? And the people are all lucky?

The people should vote on all. It seems you are a public servant that benefits from ripping off the public? It is the peoples land and you are a public servant. Remember your place!

Coming soon! “Pay at the kiosk to enter the world famous Jetty, and see the fabulous Morro Rock! 1 hour minimum, 1.5 hours maximum. No surfing access. No fishing. No dogs. No horses. No photo’s (images that are perfect for your memories can be purchased at the visitors center). Do not enter the dunes. No walking on beach or sand. Extra charge to see the cute Sea Otters. Seagull excrement must be cleaned at own expense. Have a wonderful vacation-like stay, in Morro Bay!”

They need someone to pay the outrageous compensations and raises of city officials, you can’t expect them to reduce or elimate waste and fraud instead.

I’m sure the commercial fisherman and mooring holders that use those docks will not be happy. They will now park at the already almost always full TIdelands Park parking lot creating much more congestion. It seems the MB decision makers are blinded by raking revenues and over taxing the locals and visitors? I think a drastic pay cut to the overpaid MB decision makers and city workers would offset the $5 a day parking fee.

Another attack on the poor and middle class.
