Santa's Beach Blast Pictures

Meet Surfin' Santa, Disney Characters, hear surf sounds, and dance!

It's Santa's Beach Blast! And it's a true blast of fun!

No quiet nostalgia here...nor cutsie decorations, nor twinkling lights! It's a riot of music and activity as the Wave Riders band plays surf-themed music...while children dance, use hula hoops, and play the "Limbo" musical game!

You won't find reindeer here---this California Santa rides a surfboard! And while, yes, Santa sits in his chair listening to kids' wish lists, he's not the type to stay seated quietly all day long. No---this Santa gets up to dance with the crowd (he does a mean "Twist!")

On this page, you can see photos of the lively "Santa's Beach Blast" holiday attraction at Disney's California Adventure Park, and make your plans to go & get in on the action yourself!

Santa's Beach Blast--Starring Surfing Santa Claus!

Of course, you don't have to be a kid to enjoy meeting Santa Claus! In the picture of Santa Claus on your left, that's me to his side...but, I trimmed myself out of the picture. You're here to look at Santa pictures, not me!

You can meet Santa Claus while he's sitting in his surf shack receiving visitors...or you can meet him on the dance floor for a quick "hello!" Except for quick breaks, Santa stays at Santa's Beach Blast all day long (during its posted hours,) so no matter when you arrive at Disney's California Adventure Park, you'll be sure to see him.

As you can easily see, Santa's surfboard is standing in back of the shack. (Santa probably surfs in the early morning, which is the time of day many surfers think the waves are best. Great! He's all finished surfing by the time he has to appear at Santa's Beach Blast!)

Beach balls adorn the hut. The Christmas wreath hanging near the thatched roof has ornaments made of starfish and shells, in addition to traditional colored bulbs. And a Christmas tree? Of course not---this surfing Santa lives at the beach...and palm trees are what he uses for greenery!





Inside of Santa's beach hut, you'll see a few more surfboards. After all, like any surfing enthusiast, he needs more than one board!

But mostly, when Santa heads to his shack, it's to visit with the kiddies, take photos, and listen to Christmas wish lists.

While Surfin' Santa wears a red suit and has a traditional white beard, he's not content to look "ordinary." Atop the red velvet suit, he sports a casual shirt made out of surf-themed material! (But he never takes off his Santa cap...even when he's surfing!)

Santa's Beach Blast---Surf music, dancing and more!

While the band plays, Santa's Helpers assist children in the crowd to come forward and dance. But since dancing isn't an activity which interests children for very long, the dancing is mixed with other activities.

For one or two songs, Santa's Helpers will bring out Hula Hoops. For another song or two, out comes the Limbo set-up, and children try to see "how low they can go!"








And, at other times, Santa himself takes to the dance floor!

As the Wave Riders' singer, adorned with a yellow Santa's Cap, sings surf songs, Santa feels the urge to break into a "twist." (You know...the '60's dance popular at the time much of the well-known surf music was being written.)

At other times he shakes a tamborine...or clowns around with the crowd.

Though adults don't usually get up on the dance floor with the kids, they're welcome to do so, if they'd like. More likely, you'll see the parents and grandparents watching from the benches around the sidelines...but tapping their toes and singing along with the music, at the same time!

Christmas Disney Characters at Santa's Beach Blast!

To your left, you see a photo of Pluto...Mickey Mouse's dog. Like anywhere at the Disneyland Resort, once someone spots a Disney Character, a line starts to form to meet him (or her) right away!

Pluto was so kind. He could see I wanted to take his picture...so between meeting kiddies who wanted to hug him, he turned and faced the camera for me!

To your right, you see a picture of Goofy during his drop-in visit to Santa's Beach Blast one afternoon. He's dressed for the beach...wearing a casual shirt and a "goofy" looking beach hat!

But Goofy is ALSO dressed for the Christmas holidays, as well! Goofy's beach hat is a holiday-red color...while his beach shirt is green---and giant snowflakes form a decorative pattern in the material!










To your left, you see a picture of Mickey Mouse---and he's wearing a red & white Santa cap for the holidays!

Mickey did a little bit of dancing at Santa's Beach Blast...but mostly he was too busy meeting the crowd of visitors to do much else!

A line formed to meet Mickey as soon as he appeared...and he spent lots of time greeting kids (and adults!) snapping photos and signing autographs.
