Events at Huntington City Beach
include US Open of Surfing
and the Surf City Marathon, City Surf Contest, Summer Concerts, and more. This
is
where the USA Surf Team undergoes rigorous
training to prepare for its many international
competitions.
South of the pier is one of the most eye-catching
lifeguard facilities anywhere, the Moorhouse Lifeguard Headquarters. Gracing the
exterior of the building are half a dozen terrazzo
surfboards and body boards emblazoned with the
national flags of countries that have a connection
to surfing. This facility serves as the nerve center
for radio communication between the city's 22
lifeguard towers, which include Lifeguard Tower
Zero located halfway down the pier.
Training
rooms for ongoing lifeguard instruction and an
infirmary for the injured are also housed here.
