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 is a bit funky and comfortably casual.

Main Street in Downtown Huntington Beach  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. One of the longest municipal piers 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.

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. We've been out there pounding the pavement with our own 2 feet to bring you the best of Huntington Beach in this new Picture Events Calendar. With tons of photos of Huntington Beach to knock you off your socks, we're glad you found us and hope you'll enjoy the beach vibe in this very special place.
