Directions
The nearest major airport is San Jose International in San Jose. Most major airlines have flights there. If you are flying in from southern California, we recommend Southwest Airlines . Southwest offers reasonable fares to the bay area, but is not listed on the various travel websites out there.
Most of these directions have you driving over Highway 17. Please be very careful, and allow a little extra time. Highway 17 is narrow, winding, and people drive too fast. It is one of the more dangerous stretches of roadway in California, and we urge our guests to be alert and drive carefully.
Also, given that the wedding is on a summer weekend near Santa Cruz, please expect sometimes considerable delays due to beach traffic. This problem is going to be worst for those coming over CA-17, but even getting around Santa Cruz can be challenging regardless of time of day. Please be sure to allow some extra travel time just in case.
