Huntington Beach, California sunset photos are splendid. Just wander at the beach and shoreline each night to catch one of these gems. You'll see photographers poised with their tripods and cameras ready for that magic time as the sun goes down. There's nothing quite like it on earth. And once you feel the ocean, see the light and experience the sensations, you'll decide that this is one of the best experiences--and it's absolutely free!

It should be obvious but if you don't have your thinking cap on, the sun goes down on the north side of the pier, fading into the ocean beyond Catalina Island and San Pedro in Los Angeles County. For those who love islands, you can stand at sunset and contemplate the time till Hawaii sees that very same sunset.

Back at the beaches of Huntington Beach, the beach remains open till 10 p.m. and just not far from where this photo was taken, you'll find the bonfire rings, a popular evening entertainment activity. The rings are first come, first serve--bring your own wood.
