Getting to (and from) OceanCliff
We have arranged for shuttles to do *one* pick up at each of the locations at the times listed below. Please be ready 5-10 minutes before the departure time because the shuttles don’t have time to do multiple trips to and from the venue. These same shuttles will be dropping guests at their hotels (or downtown) at the end of the reception. There is also parking available at OceanCliff if you prefer to drive (and not drink).
