Neat candy and ice cream shop at the end of the wharf. Chocolate covered bacon and dark chocolate covered bacon really hit the spot after a long walk!

Prices are a bit high, but they do have some fun and interesting candies. I tried the chocolate covered bacon @19.99 per pound. It was very good! Great little stop for a quick treat on the Boardwalk.

Located near the middle of the wharf in Santa Cruz, Marini’s Candies is a great place to stop and explore.... ice cream flavors, hand made chocolate flavor combinations and a nice selection of other items to satisfy that tourist who has a sweet tooth.
I noticed another smaller location on the Beach Boardwalk where you also could make ice cream, chocolate and candy purchases.
Chocolate makes a great gift to bring home... just don’t forget to bring some home for yourself!!!

I see Marini’s on the Wharf as a group of teenage girls behind the counter who have to interrupt their chit chat to acknowledge the customer who’s been standing there for some time. Also, there is no apparent plan for social distancing; the place was packed like a sardine can with customers. And, several hours after opening, one of the employees yelled “who forgot to turn the hot fudge machine on?”. I have been a Marini’s customer for over 30 years, but this experience, reflecting a total lack of effective management, will keep me from returning.
