Pajaro Dunes is incredibly convenient for a beachside location. The amenities in this condo are all the basics that you need and nothing more. You can enjoy a beachside view, the sound of waves crashing while you sleep, and barefoot access to the sand. We thoroughly enjoyed the proximity to the beach, which allowed downtime to explore and jump in the waves. The beach itself is quite basic -- comfortable sand, wide views, and nothing too exceptional about it. All in all, a quiet spot to stay when accessing Monterey or Santa Cruz.
