How can I get to Sand City and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in Sand City can help keep you on budget. The closest airport is 1.7 mi (2.7 km) from the centre in Monterey, CA (MRY-Monterey Peninsula). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to Salinas, CA (SNS-Salinas Municipal), which is 13.3 mi (21.4 km) away. Sand City might not have very many public transport choices so a car rental could be an economical alternative to see more of the area.
