Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Santa Cruz, CA

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is the only major seaside amusement park on the Pacific Coast and is located on a mile-long beach bordering Monterey Bay. The nearly century old park is a true West Coast treasure, as California's oldest amusement park plus a State Historic Landmark. The park features two named National Historic Landmarks: a classic 1911 Looff carousel and the popular Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster, built in 1924. The boardwalk features 34 rides, games of skill, arcades, restaurants, shops and entertainment for the entire family. Admission to the Boardwalk is free. Individual ride tickets or an all-day pass must be purchased for the rides. The Boardwalk is located 40 miles north of Monterey, 35 miles from San Jose, and 70 miles south of San Francisco. Take Highway 1 or 17 to Santa Cruz and follow the signs to the "beachfront."
