Flight

SJC or SFO

Closest airport is SJC in San Jose, but SFO in South San Francisco might have more options for those flying from the east coast. Assuming no traffic: * SJC to Santa Cruz ~45 minutes drive (1+ with traffic) * SFO to Santa Cruz ~1 hr 10 min drive (2+ with traffic)

Hotel

Best Western Plus All Suites Inn

For middle-tier budgets. This one is super close to downtown where the wedding festivities are taking place, and is actually right by our home!

Hotel

La Bahia Hotel & Spa

For higher budgets. La Bahia is brand new and gorgeous, located right next to the beach and boardwalk. It is still close to downtown where the wedding is taking place, but not as close as Best Western.

Hotel

Motel 6 - Santa Cruz

Most budget-conscious option. Still close to downtown!

Travel Note

Airbnb/VRBO

There are plenty of wonderful Airbnb/VRBO's across town if wanting to get a group together to split the cost, or be closer to one of the incredible parks in town (Natural Bridges, Sunny Cove Beach, East Cliff, Wilder, etc) that are a bit further from the planned festivities.
