The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an oceanfront amusement park in Santa Cruz, California. Founded in 1907, it is California's oldest surviving amusement park and one of the few seaside parks on the West Coast of the United States.OverviewThe Boardwalk extends along the coast of the Monterey Bay, from just east of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf to the mouth of the San Lorenzo River. At the western edge of the park lies a large building originally known as The Plunge, Now Neptune's Kingdom, which contains a video arcade, and indoor miniature golf course. Next to this is The Casino Fun Center which includes a laser tag arena and next to that (To the Right) is The Cocoanut Grove banquet room and conference center. A Laffing Sal automated character, from San Francisco's Playland, is viewable near the miniature golf course.East of the Casino, the boardwalk portion of the park stretches along a wide, sandy beach visitors can access easily from the park. The eastern end of the boardwalk is dominated by the Giant Dipper roller coaster, one of the best-known wooden coasters in the world and one of the most visible landmarks in Santa Cruz. The Dipper and the Looff Carousel, which still contains its original 342-pipe organ built in 1894, are both on the US National Register of Historic Places. They were, together, declared to be a National Historic Landmark in 1987 and the park is California Historical Landmark number 983.

The Boardwalk's Casino Arcade houses the largest selection of video games in the area. More than 300 games in all! Plus LASER TAG!! Whether you’re looking for the latest games like Dance Dance Revolution, Sky Target Flight Simulator, San Francisco Rush Driving or the interactive experience of the new NASCAR 4 player race game, we’ve got you covered.

Santa Cruz's Smallest and Greatest! Eights & Aces was opened early 2008 by FLiP because of strong desire to create a place where he could take his art and Tattooing to new heights. He wanted to keep the shop small and intimate to avoid that big shop feel and found the perfect location at 343 1/2 Soquel Ave. Here He was able to concentrate on his art and one-on-one interactions with his clients. Also joining FLiP on this artistic journey are Ethan Jones and Adrian Aguayo. With these three distinctly different artist customers can rest assured that to have an amazing tattoo, they are in great hands. After years of constantly reassuring FLiP that an apprenticeship was a good idea Ethan finally succeed in realizing his dream of becoming a tattoo artist. All of his hard work has paid off and it shows in his tattoos! it couldn't have been a better decision!! Adrian has joined us after the unfortunate closing of the shop where he spent the past few years. We are happy to have him be part of Eights and Aces! Those of you who have been to the shop tell your friends to come by and see what all the talk is about!!! Eights & Aces - Stealing Sexy Back! FLiP, Ethan and Adrian
