MOMofONE Posted April 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2004 We will be staying nite before cruise, in Santa Cruz. Our ship disembarks San Fran at 4 PM and we hope to get to pier around 1-2 PM How much time should we allow if we wanted to drive up Route 1 (on a Sunday morning) and make a brief stop at Ano Nuevo? Is the scenery worth continuing driving from Ano Nuevo thru Half Moon Bay etc? Or would it be better to cut over (rt 84?) to main highway at this point (Hwy 280)? Thanks!

bbqbears Posted April 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I drive from Capitola (the city just south of Santa Cruz) to San Francisco 1 day each week. It takes me approx. 1 hr 45" (non rush hour) to go by way of hwy 17 to Hwy 85 to 280, add another 30+" to take the coast road. As long as you're going to take the coast road to Half Moon Bay, you might as well continue all the way up. Remember that you will encounter a lot of weekend surfer/beach traffic at various points, so leave yourself plenty of time (perhaps 3.5--even 4 hr if you're planning on stopping). Enjoy!

MOMofONE Posted April 25, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Thank you Kathy - that was very helpful info! The travel guides are nice but just don't have the day-to-day local perspective someone like you can offer. Much appreciated! Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
