If you are taking a trip up to San Francisco, you should consider stopping by the city of Santa Cruz. Not only does the city offer amazing scenery when driving around, but it also offers countless amazing places to visit. One of the most popular locations to see in the city is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is so popular because it is a great place to spend the day with family and friends. The boardwalk has different things to do, such as going on exciting rides, eating, trying fun foods, and playing at the arcades. The most popular and historic ride on the boardwalk is “The Giant Dipper.” On May 17, 1924, the 75-foot high wood coaster opened on the boardwalk by the American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE). Since then, the coaster has been Santa Cruz’s most exciting attraction on the boardwalk.
If you get hungry while visiting, there is a wide range of sweet and interesting snacks to try. If you are obsessed with eating fair food, you will feel as if you’re in heaven after seeing how much food there is to try! Some of the stands include Beachside BBQ, Deep-Fried Twinkies, and Tater Twists. These stands will not disappoint you with their amazing foods, so try them when you head out there.
Last but not least is the arcades. Everyone, no matter what age you are, can have a fun time playing at arcades. Luckily, the boardwalk has many scattered around to go and visit. The most visited arcade is near Neptune’s Kingdom next to the boardwalk. This place is not only an arcade, but it has a miniature golf course as well. So, if you’re considering staying indoors during the day, this would be the perfect place for entertainment.
No matter what time of the year you decide to visit, you will always have an amazing experience at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
