Huntington Beach, California has grown from in a century
since the city was founded to become one of
the most sought after places to live, and to
visit. Like thousands who have come to this
seaside city of 200,000 residents, you may fall in love and never want to leave,
once you visit. HB locals
know and love this sandy paradise located in
Southern California between Los Angeles and San
Diego, two of the top tourist attractions in
California.
Ideal for
weddings,
one of the premier beaches, Huntington
Beach, includes 8.5 miles of sandy beaches stretching along the Pacific
Ocean that are free for the public to use for
outdoor recreation.
Huntington Beach Pier shown in our photo gallery is a popular
icon, where tourists love to walk and watch
supreme surfing in the ocean below. It is the
perfect place to take a photo. When summer comes
and the U.S. Open of Surfing occurs each July,
the pier is absolutely packed with standing room
only on the final surfing Sunday when a winner
is chosen.
Huntington Beach
California USA is our
favorite city and we've dedicated over 10
years to providing information about this
destination to help you plan a visit, or
relocate to our favorite California beach
town. Beach
sports, resorts and the old-fashioned Main
Street nightlife that's simple, a bit funky
and comfortably casual, are part of the
California beaches experience that gives this city its unique flavor like
no other.
Main Street is the spot to shop and dine. There are hundreds of places
within the city and nearby in Huntington Beach, which
features warm, sandy beaches along the Pacific Ocean,
beckoning tourists to play. This safe city has the longest
municipal concrete pier in California, 8.5 miles
of smooth sand, mild climate all year long and some of the
best surfing waves in the United States. With natural beauty
reminiscent of the Hawaiian Islands, over 11 million people
are drawn each year to this Southern California location.
Annual
events in Surf City may
include
US Open of Surfing, skateboard and BMX competitions,
Paintball World Series,
4th of July Parade,
Duck-A-Thon and
Halloween on Main Street.
Those who love being outdoors can experience the waves, ride
the skate parks and paths and lay on the sandy beach all
year long. Adults, children and teens love to sit along Main
Street, too, and dine on delicious foods while watching the
parade of swim suits, surf boards and traffic pass through a
five block stretch of shops and outdoor cafes. It's a casual
place where the only suit you'll need is a swim suit or wet
suit. Even the finest restaurants in town do not require
neckties.
Each
year in Huntington Beach there are new events
from the
Downtown
HB, plus more sun, more sand and more fun.
