Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

The Admission-Free Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! Enjoy warm sand, cool surf, hot rides and free entertainment at the only major seaside amusement park on the West Coast. Named the world’s Best Seaside Amusement Park by amusement industry experts, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk features both modern and classic thrill rides, restaurants, miniature golf, video game arcades, and family bowling, all located on a mile-long sandy beach. The admission-free Boardwalk offers affordable ticket options and free summer entertainment. A truly unique California experience!

Gina Poli MacPherson shared her first photo taken in Santa Cruz when she was just six months old with her mom, Betty Poli, in the arcade in 1958. Gina's dad's parents would vacation in a little cottage by the Boardwalk, and her family would visit them and enjoy the beach. This would become an annual family vacation with many fun summer memories.  #TBT
