The main attraction is a small cabin that wound up tilted on the slope of a hill in 1939. Now feel the “gravitational anomaly” that has kept this roadside forest attraction going for decades. You’ve seen the yellow-and-black bumper stickers. Despite the pandemic, ambitious and distinctive restaurants have multiplied in recent years, including Copal (see below), Vim and Bad Animal, a restaurant-bar-bookshop hybrid that I hope to hit on the next trip. For good reason, the city carries a reputation as an artsy, woodsy, liberal enclave. If you find your way there, whether it’s summer or not, you’ll see that Santa Cruz is dominated by surfers, tech workers and students at UC Santa Cruz.

I love the sight of its lights and scaffolding at night, and if you remember the 1987 movie “The Lost Boys,” you’ll recognize it as a hangout for a vampire gang led by Kiefer Sutherland. That amusement park might still be the city’s most widely recognized attraction. It has been attracting heat-fleeing visitors from inland California since at least 1907, when the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk opened. The thriving is no great surprise, really: Santa Cruz sits on a handsome perch at the northern edge of the Monterey Bay, neighbored by redwood forests. Now it's time for us to do Texas in 2013.On a spring day in Santa Cruz, visitors have a perplexing opportunity: to see a city thriving and shrinking, all at once. 'GAH!!!! THE SEAWEED MONSTER HAS RISEN!!!! AND HE'S MAKING THE ENTIRE BOARDWALK STARE AT HIM AS HE WALKS BACK TO HIS CAR!!!!!' Seriously, this was an awesome weekend. 'What sort of loser decided that we can't play baseball on the beach?' =( This carousel is awesome as its one of the few carousels that let you grab rings.įeed the clown the rings so he can grow up big and strong and return the favor by eating you. Why not have some fun and do the face paint.Īnd of course, since we're here with a Carousel Enthusiast, we just had to do the carousel! =)īut hey. I'll just have to get it when I come back next year on our Nor Cal Trip. =)ĭefinetly the best wooden coaster in California.ĪRGH!!!! WHY DID YOU CLOSE THIS ENTIRE SIDE OF THE PARK!!! DAMMIT!!! NOW I CAN'T GET THAT KIDDY CREDIT!!!! Oh well. A month ago, we rode the Giant Dipper at Belmont Park. Getting stuck on a lifthill is NOT a horrific accident *cough* California's Great America & Six Flags America *cough*.), automatically discredit it as made up bullsh*t. If you ever see an L.A Times Article on theme park or roller coaster news (excluding the possibility of some horrific accident, and take horrific accident with a grain of salt. We came to get more rides on the Santa Cruz Giant Dipper!!! =) MAN does it run a weak program.īut thats not why we're here. It's about damn time we did a theme park on this trip considering the fact that we are IncredibleCOASTERS.įinally got on the Double Shot here. Thats enough San Francisco for this trip.

This place is full of fat loud obnoxious American Tourists. We came back to the Golden Gate Bridge to walk across, but it was closed off to pedestrians since they were doing a San Francisco Marathon that morning.

San Francisco Glass Beach Santa Cruz Beach BoardwalkĪfter that fun night in a parking lot, we ended up back in San Francisco in the morning to see the sun rise over the Golden Gate Bridge. Incrediblecoasters - Glass Beach Road Trip - Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
