About Us / Find Us

Welcome to Boardwalk Bowl

Just steps from the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the Boardwalk Bowl is your ultimate destination for unforgettable fun! Our state-of-the-art facility is more than just a bowling alley—it’s a vibrant hub of entertainment featuring an arcade, restaurant and patio, small museum, and lounge for plenty of party fun. Plus, grab your friends and sing your heart out 7 days a week on the same stage that has welcomed Jason Aldean, James Durbin, and the Vienna Boys Choir. Whether you’re planning a family outing, date night, or a party to remember, the Boardwalk Bowl has it all. 

Looking to elevate your game? Stop by our full-service Pro Shop, staffed by IBPSIA-certified professionals. From custom-fitted balls and stylish shoes to lessons, we’ve got everything you need to bowl like a pro.

Convenient Parking Options

We offer complimentary parking for our guests at the corner of Cliff and First Street. Parking is reserved for Boardwalk Bowl guests and requires you to stay on-site during your visit. Please note: On the 4th of July weekend, parking is paid, but your fee doubles as a voucher to use at the Boardwalk Bowl for bowling and shoe rental.
