Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

400 Beach St.
Santa Cruz , CA , United States http://www.beachboardwalk.com/
(831) 423-5590

The Vibe: The 1907-founded boardwalk offers quintessential family fun on turn-of-the-century rides like the carousel, dating from 1911, and the Giant Dipper, from 1924. Even the modern amusements are classics: a haunted house, flume, and roller coasters.

The Crowd: Giant, roving reunion groups, weekend family outings, and stress-busting USCS students stroll the sunny strip.

Time-Travel Tip: Catch one of the late nights, when the rides close at 11 p.m., for all the joys of the park without any of the tantrums. Check the website for scheduling, as closing times vary greatly weekend to weekend.
