Also known as Boardwalk Beach, the Santa Cruz Main Beach is a popular and bustling beach which attracts visitors all year round. The beach is backed by a long boardwalk featuring an amusement park, bowling alley and many restaurants and other entertainment options. The beach itself is quite wide and sandy but even though it is a large beach it is often packed with sun worshippers, swimmers and surfers. The beach boasts great waves which has earned it a reputation as one of the best surfing beaches in the area. You can also enjoy a game of beach volley ball or rent a kayak and do some paddling.
