That's right!   The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, over 100 years old, and forever young was originally billed as the Coney Island of the West.  And it is a terrific place to spend the day.  Or even the weekend!  A traditional wood rollercoaster and so many other rides and attractions that it was best to just start at one end and work our way to the other.  A great time for the entire family.  I mean a GREAT time!  Arcades, rides, entertainment.  It was the best.  I think in the winter is only open on the weekends, but check it out.
