Travel & Lodging

Air Travel
For out-of-town guests, the closest airport is San Jose International Airport (SJC), ~41 miles from Santa Cruz. If you’re not renting a car, the Highway 17 Express Bus runs directly from San Jose to Santa Cruz.
You can also fly into San Francisco International Airport (SFO), ~62 miles away. SFO will have more flight options, but SJC is smaller and more convenient.
Getting Here
Santa Cruz is a popular destination, so we recommend booking flights & accommodations early. There’s plenty to do in the area, and we encourage you to arrive early and make a trip out of it.
If you’re driving from SFO, we highly recommend taking Highway 1 along the coast. It's slightly slower, but the views are worth it!
Lodging
There are many lodging options in Santa Cruz, including hotels & Airbnbs. For access to our venue, we suggest staying on the Westside or downtown.
We have set up a hotel block at Mission Inn & Suites (more info below).
