About

Various Boardwalk food locations and retail are currently open daily. Boardwalk rides, Casino Arcade, Neptune’s Kingdom, Mini Golf, Laser Tag, Fright Walk, and Boardwalk Bowl are currently closed.

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is recognized as the best seaside park in the world. Our vibrant, bustling amusement park is renowned for its great rides, remarkable history, spectacular beach setting, and friendly attitude.

The Boardwalk has been operating since 1907, and it hasn’t missed a beat! We believe in affordable family fun - that’s why admission is free, summer entertainment is included, and ride tickets are affordable.

Two of our rides are National Historic Landmarks, but don’t let that fool you. The 1924 Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster still thrills riders with its hair-raising dips and turns and the Looff Carousel's unique ring toss provides a surprising challenge. Our indoor arcades offer the largest selection of games in Northern California with the latest video and redemption games, pinball machines, a vintage game collection, a two-story miniature golf course, and a laser tag arena. There's also a family bowling center right across the street.

Many people visit just for the food. Choices include corn dogs made from a secret family recipe, deep-fried artichokes, chocolate-covered bacon, and deep-fried Twinkies!

The Boardwalk spans a wide sandy beach along Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary where it’s not unusual to see otters, dolphins, sea lions, and even whales swimming just offshore.

Join us for a truly unique California beach experience!

In August 1976, performers Steve "Unique" McPeak and Stephen Wallenda walked the thousand-foot length of the Boardwalk's Sky Glider cable. With 34 men along the route steadying the cable with guy wires, and wind gusting up to twenty-five knots, a crowd of ten thousand watched as Wallenda and McPeak traversed the entire length of the cable without a mishap, successfully setting a new record. 🙌
