FOR THOSE DRIVING

Santa Cruz is located on California’s Monterey Bay – 75 miles south of San Francisco 45 miles north of Monterey and Carmel, and just over the coastal mountains from Silicon Valley and the San Jose International Airport.

Directions to Conference @ University Inn

The University Inn & Conference Center is located on the Pacific Coast between the Monterey/Carmel peninsula and the San Francisco Bay Area, near the intersection of Highways 1 and 17 in Santa Cruz, California.

If you’re coming from the north on Highway 17, stay in your left hand lane to exit onto Ocean Street.

If you’re coming from the south on Highway 1, follow the loop up and over Highway 17. Immediately get in your left lane because you will be exiting approximately 50 yards past the overpass.

Once you are on Ocean Street, go through three traffic lights and begin looking on your right. The University Inn & Conference Center is immediately after the intersection of Ocean Street and Water Street.
