Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

The main beach in Californias most prominent surf town has more than just sand and surf. It is also home to an oceanfront amusement park with thrilling roller coasters, old-school carnival games, and traditional fair snack booths. Although many people come for fun games and rides, you can still enjoy a relaxing day on the sandy stretch of beach in front of the boardwalk. The waves are gentle, and there are several lifeguards on duty, making this a fun outing for the whole family.
