THINGS TO DO
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
Considered one of the best seaside amusement parks in the world because of its fantastic setting and historic roller coaster rides. The Giant Dipper, a wooden roller coaster built in 1924, has become a landmark in Santa Cruz. In addition to the rides, the boardwalk has a huge variety of attractions, activities, such as classic and modern video games, air hockey, skee ball, and other traditional arcade games, free entertainment, and dining options.
The beachfront boardwalk is also full of food vendors, where you can treat yourself to goodies like corn dogs, deep-fried artichokes, chocolate-coated ice-cream, cotton candy, and salt water taffy.
Natural Bridges State Beach
Natural Bridges State Beach is named for the natural arch in the huge rock located in the shore break here. This is one of the most photographed beach icons in the state of California. The park also offers a monarch butterfly migration preserve and exhibit, picnic areas, hiking trails, an accessible boardwalk, and a great sandy beach. A lagoon forms where the creek backs up and birds pose for photographs in this area. This state park is right on the western edge of urban Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz Wharf
The Santa Cruz Wharf was built in 1914 to serve deep-water vessels, however today it is used as a fishing pier and sightseeing vantage point.
You'll find plenty of things to do at the wharf, and it is one of the most popular places to sample the local seafood at one of the nine restaurants here. This is also a great place to buy souvenirs, with plenty of shops and boutiques.
SEE YOU THERE!
