The historic Giant Dipper has been delivering screams since 1924, and this beachfront boardwalk still channels that quintessential California nostalgia with sand between your toes and carnival lights at sunset. Ride the classic wooden coaster, hit the arcades, or just stroll with the ocean breeze: it is the kind of place that leaves you smiling.
