Pajaro-Dunes-Condo-S55-8/17/2008

Pajaro Dunes is a development along a long beach on Monterey Bay near Moss Landing, CA. The popular Sunset State Beach is adjacent to the north. It's approximately half way between Santa Cruz and Monterey on a long beach and has two sets of condos: Shorebirds to the north and Pelican to the south. We spent the weekend at the Shorebirds complex in condo S55. Both complexes have tennis courts and central facilities, in addition to the beach-front location.

The condo is on the second floor (of three) with a great view of the surf and Monterey Bay. The beach (reached by steps at each building) is just beyone the dune grass.
The buildings are all right on the beach, with every condo having a view of the water and the dunes. The first and second levels can be reached by ramps, with stairs to the third level.
Each condo has a deck/balcony. This unit has chairs and a BBQ. There are large sliding glass doors to the master bedroom and living room.
We enjoyed the sound of the surf and the view of the bay from the deck and the windows. One day we saw a pod of porpoises passing by just beyond the surf line.
This is the view from the condo deck. On the left you can see the stairs leading down to the beach from this building. Every day surfers give the waves a try.
Sailboats are very popular on Monterey Bay, and are often visible.
This is a panoramic view of the open space of the condo, from the entry and dining area past the kitchen to the living room and views of the bay.
This is the dining room, and it's actually quite roomy.
This is the master bedroom. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The master bath, in the suite, has a roomy shower with bench.
The master bedroom opens onto the deck and has great views of Monterey Bay to the west.
This is the second bedroom. It's to the right when entering the condo.
Another view of the second bedroom. There is a bathroom with tub/shower in the hall to the right. The washer and dryer are behind the doors visible in the hall.
