About Interlaken

Interlaken is a census-designated place in Santa Cruz County, near Watsonville and College Lake. It sits in a coastal Central California landscape where residential neighborhoods, agriculture, and wetlands are all close together. The area has a mild Mediterranean climate, and its everyday life is tied more to Watsonville, local roads, schools, and farm-country surroundings than to a standalone town center. Interlaken feels residential and practical, with a small-community scale within the broader Pajaro Valley.
