Turn on Sandholdt Road and cross the bridge. MBARI is on the left side of the road.

Limited free public parking is available along the street. The nearby Moss Landing Harbor District also offers some parking for a fee. Carpooling is strongly recommended. Limited accessible parking will be available on site.
Food
Food and beverages will not be available at the MBARI Open House, however, there are several restaurants nearby. There are also several benches around MBARI that you can use to picnic with your family, as well as access points to the beach.
