Driving Directions to Pajaro Dunes

Pajaro Dunes is a unique coastal resort outside the city of Watsonville, nestled in the sand dunes. The final three miles of the drive take you down a straight, two-lane road called Beach Road that goes through farm fields. Important note for guests driving northbound: We recommend routing to the Hampton Inn & Suites Hotel in Watsonville to get to Pajaro Dunes. You can route to Pajaro Dunes once you arrive at the hotel. This is because Google Maps will try to route you on a "shortcut" left on Trafton Road near Watsonville, which basically leads you down a dirt road in a strawberry field.

The block runs from Thursday, October 8 (for guests attending Beach Day) to Sunday, October 11. Please edit the dates based on when you'll be arriving, and book before September 17! We are also planning to have a shuttle service for this hotel. We will update that soon.
