The Multispecies Salon: Driving Directions
UC 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.
From San Jose: Take Highway 17 South to Santa Cruz. At the outskirts of Santa Cruz, take Highway 1 North (toward half Moon Bay). On Business Highway 1 (Mission Street), travel approximately one mile north to Bay Street in Santa Cruz. Turn right on Bay and proceed up the hill towards the main campus entrance. [Look for “Multispecies” signs]. At the traffic light at the main campus entrance, turn left on High Street. Continue up High Street and stay on the same road as it becomes Empire Grade. Turn right at the west gate campus entrance (Heller Drive). Turn right at the first stop sign (Koshland) and look for parking in the lots on your left.
