It’s primal, it’s colorful and you can touch the sky. Spend a sunny, summer day in California at the beach on a pleasure ride. In Santa Cruz you can arrive by beach train that travels from the Redwood forest to the sea and enjoy an historic Boardwalk over 100 years old (beachboardwalk.com)! At Belmont Park (belmontpark.com) in San Diego the fun includes an historic Plunge pool. In Santa Monica on the World Famous Pier (santamonicapier.org), there’s an old-fahioned Ferris wheel with a twist–solar powered operations.
Fun zones with beaches, boardwalks and piers are nearly a thing of the past. So grab the brass ring while you can and enjoy the timeless experience of old-fashioned beach amusements.
