Moss Landing KOA is located just off of Highway 1 to the west, at the corner of Moss Landing Road and Sandholdt Road.
From US-101, we recommend taking Exit 336 for Monterey Peninsula/CA-156 West toward Castroville, then take CA-183 to Highway 1 north.
Moss Landing KOA Express is at the heart of Monterey Bay, only a 5-minute walk from Salinas River State Beach and steps away from the Moss Landing Harbor, where Southern sea otters, California sea lions, and harbor seals can often be spotted in the calm waters of the marina. Whale watching is popular year-round here in Moss Landing, thanks to the Monterey Bay Submarine Canyon, a 2-mile deep underwater trench which funnels directly into the waters off Moss Landing's shoreline. The Elkhorn Slough is also located here in Moss Landing, and it provides ample opportunity for hiking, kayaking, and world-class bird-watching. There are also boat tours of the Slough available year-round for anyone interested in viewing the wildlife.
Moss Landing State Beach is a great spot to watch a sunset as well as an abundance of wildlife. There is dog-friendly beach behind the MBARI building all the way to the Jetty.
The SSA's inventory includes a rare book and reference collection, museum, memorabilia, visual art, theater art archives including play bills, posters, reviews, photographs, slides and props.
You will find knowledgeable personnel on site to answer your questions.
