Make the Most of Your Marina Stay

A coastal gateway shaped by nature and history

Marina occupies a distinctive position on California's Central Coast, where windswept dunes meet reclaimed Fort Ord military land. The city's protected beaches rank among the region's finest for hang gliding and paragliding, with launch sites above some of the highest coastal dunes in Central California. Fort Ord Dunes State Park and the adjacent National Monument offer 83 miles of trails through rare maritime chaparral for uncrowded hiking and mountain biking. The Sanctuary Beach Resort anchors the shoreline with upscale accommodations and Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette's wood-fired coastal cuisine.

Modern conveniences in a natural setting

The Dunes on Monterey Bay features a 365,000-square-foot lifestyle center with REI, cinema, and diverse dining. This contrasts with the multicultural downtown along Reservation Road, where Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese restaurants reflect Marina's diverse heritage. Business travelers appreciate SpringHill Suites' location near Monterey Regional Airport, 10 miles south. Marina's position between Monterey and Santa Cruz makes it an efficient base for exploring the peninsula without premium resort town pricing.

Strategic access to coastal California

Marina's transit connections and Highway 1 proximity facilitate regional exploration. Big Sur lies 45 minutes south, Carmel's galleries 15 minutes away. Nearby Moss Landing offers kayaking among sea otters in Elkhorn Slough, while Santa Cruz's boardwalk provides vintage charm 40 minutes north.
