Flight
San Jose Mineta International Airport and San Francisco International Airport
Santa Cruz is easily accessible from both San Jose (about 30 miles) and San Francisco (about 60 miles) International Airports. The Highway 17 Express bus route and Early Bird Airport Shuttle both serve Santa Cruz County from San Jose. We would also recommend renting a car and driving up through the Santa Cruz Mountains or California Highway 1.
