History:The Shorebird Condominiums, completed in 1975, are built at the site of Port Watsonville.  The following is an excerpt condensed from a chronicle written by the son of William Lock-Paddon: "Watsonville's beach was orginally developed prior to 1900 by the Goodall & Perkins Steamship Company operating out of Seatle, Washington. They built a freight depot at the end of Beach Road. They also built a small resort hotel, a number of cabins and a dance pavilion around the depot named Camp Goodall.  In 1902, the Watsonville Transportation Company purchased land just north of Camp Goodall and built a wharf which ran a quarter mile out from shore. An electric railway carried passengers and freight from Watsonville out Beach Road to the Wharf. In 1911, a new 1,700 foot wharf was built. The Pajaro Valley Development Company bought the beach land and subdivided it with lots selling from $150 to $500 apeice.  The California Pacific Company developed Calpaco, a tent city resort with sidewalks and running water to each tent. From 1919 to 1921, William Locke-Paddon, a San Francisco developer, took over and changed the name Camp Goodall to Palm Beach and announced plans for a large resort which included restoration of the old hotel and dance hall. Lock-Paddon planted the Holland Dune Grass and the Cypress and Eucalyptus trees that grow here to this day. Physical Layout: 309 units in 9 clusters, each cluster containing 3 levels with 30-36 units. Seven floor plans including: 1 bed/1 bath, 2 bed/2 bath, 3 bed/ 2 bath units. Ownership: Each unit is held in Fee Simple; owner holds title with ownership rights and interest which are posessory, enduring for a period which is not fixed or specific and can be conveyed during life or upon death ; 1/36th undivided interest as tenant in common of cluster; undivided interest with all Shorebird owners in the Homeowners Association which owns common areas, including recreational areas, 16  tennis courts, the Lagoon House Community Center and roads in development. Epilogue: When plans were made to create a community for beach homes, the old pier and the hotel and all the evidence of former dreams, were gone. A twenty-five year effort, working with a new dream envisioned in the 60's of gradual development, saw to the completion of Pajaro Dunes. We've kept what was priceless and added to it with sensitive planning and careful design. Maintaining the unique nature of things at Pajaro Dunes is our Highest Priority.
