Photographs of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Area:
Visitor Accommodations
Tent City was located on Beach Street, opposite the Casino. It provided less expensive accommodations than those
available at the nearby luxurious Sea Beach Hotel. Each of the 200 tents in Tent City had a wooden floor, lights, and
water. It was destroyed along with the Casino in the 1906 fire. By 1907, cottages had replaced the tents and became
known as Cottage City.
A 1910 visitor's guide lists rates for the Cottage City:
One Person
Two Persons
Four Persons
Eight Persons
$.75 to $1.00 Per Night
$1.50 to $2.50 Per Night
$2.50 to $3.50 Per Night
[no lodging offered]
$5.00 to $7.00 Per Week
$9.00 to $15.00 Per Week
$15.00 to $28.00 Per Week
$40.00 Per Week
The Casa del Rey Hotel was built in 1911 on site of the
Cottage City. The photograph on the right shows the laying
of the foundation. The one below shows the hotel on July
29, 1911.

Swanton's company went bankrupt in 1912. The boardwalk facilities were closed until 1915 when a new company--The
Santa Cruz Seaside Company-- took over. To learn more about the Boardwalk area, read about its beginnings in A First in
Hot Bathing, and about its later history in Survival of the Funnest.
