Location, Location, Location!

Shakespeare Farm is nestled in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains with sweeping vistas of the Monterey Bay. The land meets the sea in a harmonious blend of colors and textures, and the gentle coastal breezes and stunning sunsets are perfectly complemented by ancient redwoods, some of the tallest and oldest trees on Earth. These natural giants create a canopy of serenity, offering cool shade and a sense of timelessness that enriches the experience of all who visit. Best of all, the Santa Cruz Mountains are renowned for their lush landscapes and diverse ecosystems, which offer a perfect backdrop for equestrian activities—an idyllic setting for both horse and rider.


Despite its secluded feel, Shakespeare Farm is easily accessible with convenient proximity to major airports. Visitors can easily reach our tranquil haven from various locations:



San Jose International Airport (SJC): Approximately 32 miles away, about a 40-minute drive.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO): Approximately 61 miles away, about a 1-hour drive.

Monterey Regional Airport (MRY): Approximately 45 miles away, about a 50-minute drive.
