Point-to-Point Logistics

Canoe/Escort Boat and Trailer Options:

Leave your canoe on the beach in Santa Cruz, and leave your trailer and tow vehicle in Monterey on Saturday night.
(But write to us first, so that we can reserve space for you on the beach with the SC Harbor Master.)

Arrange a tow driver to take your trailer to Monterey during the race so that your trailer is available at the end of the race.

Arrange with us to loan you a canoe. We'll take care of trailering the canoe as necessary. (Write to us with your request, or call Robert Boltje at (831) 466-3623.)

Bring your canoe and trailer to Santa Cruz on Saturday night or Sunday morning and arrange with another club to trailer your canoe back to Santa Cruz.

Paddler Shuttle Options:

Leave vehicles in Monterey and shuttle your paddlers to the race start on Sunday morning (40 miles and approximately 50 minutes driving time).

Leave enough vehicles in Monterey to return your crew to Santa Cruz after the race.

Arrange with support drivers to drive your vehicles to the race finish on Sunday morning.

Note: If there's enough interest, we might arrange for a bus to transport paddlers back to Santa Cruz from Monterey.

Parking at Monterey State Beach

From Del Monte Ave exit, turn on Figueroa Street toward the Bay at the Old Fisherman's Wharf. Take a quick right into the gravel parking lot. Use the vending machine to pre-pay for your parking. Be aware that you need to pre-pay before 9:00 AM, too.

If you aren't able to pay for the gravel parking lot before 9:00 AM, take a left instead of a quick right on Figueora Street. Use the attendant lot at Waterfront Lot #2, between Washington Street and Wharf #2. Trailer is parking available.
