Santa Cruz has been a seaside resort since the mid-19th century. The Looff carousel and classic wooden Giant Dipper roller coaster at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk date from the early 1900s. Elsewhere along the boardwalk, the Casino Fun Center has its share of video-game technology. But this is still primarily a place for good old-fashioned family fun: rides, games, corn dogs, and chowder fries. www.beachboardwalk.com. $23.95, day pass for unlimited rides. Late May-early Sept., daily; early Sept.-late May, weekends only, weather permitting, call for hrs.
