Recently named the world's "Best Seaside Amusement Park" by industry experts, the 102-year old 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 of sandy beach.

The admission-free Boardwalk offers affordable ticket options and free summer entertainment. A truly unique California experience!

We’re the last of the great seaside amusement parks remaining in the United States and home to two National Historic Landmarks - the 1911 Looff Carousel and 1924 Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster. The entire property is also a State Historic Landmark.

Owned and operated by the Santa Cruz Seaside Company since 1915, the Boardwalk remains a family style amusement park creating memories that last a lifetime. Click here for more information about our history>
