SFO or OAK
Both the Oakland and San Francisco airports are a little more than an hour away from Willow Camp. If you plan on exploring the area over the weekend, you might want to rent a car however, Stinson Beach is a small town and you probably will not need a car once you arrive. Everything is close and parking is limited. You can also take a taxi, Lyft or Uber to Stinson Beach, but you will NOT be able to get a ride share to leave Stinson. Why not carpool? Let us know if you're thinking about this and we can make connections.

Driving
TO STINSON BEACH (don't let gps direct you to Santa Cruz) Drive along the breathtaking, scenic cliffside Highway 1 or use Panoramic Highway, a curvy drive through forests. Both roads to the beach are a bit dangerous and we prefer that you not drive after celebrating with drinks. If you must drive after dark, the safer bet would be Panoramic Highway. Willow Camp is near the south end of Stinson Beach (see FAQs for parking options and map). NOTE: Make sure that you are coming to Stinson Beach, not Santa Cruz. Apparently maps can lead you down to Santa Cruz which is entirely in the wrong direction. Directions to the Carriage House entrance (in case your GPS runs out of juice): From Highway 1 driving North: • Pass Panoramic on your right: • Make your first left (west) off Hwy 1 - Willow Camp Way. It is the first of two streets that almost touch at the top. •If you pass Arenal Ave. on your left or the fire station on your right, you have gone too far. •Follow the chain link fence, drive all the way to the bottom and turn left into the driveway with the sign that says “Carriage House”. You will arrive at a gravel parking area.
Travel Note
Sharing rides
Because guests will be arriving on different days and parking at Willow Camp is limited, we encourage you to buddy up! For those who will be driving in on the day of the ceremony and celebration, we encourage people to carpool together--it will make for a sweeter ride from Bolinas, San Francisco or Oakland!
