| Huntington Beach, also called Surf City, is one of the most visited beaches in Southern California. Bordered on the north by Bolsa Chica and Seal Beach, on the south, by Newport Beach. Once a sleepy oil town and later a surfer hang out. Today Huntington Beach is remaking its self as a west coast resort destination. High rise hotels and trendy malls have all but replaced the surf shops and old buildings. Huntington Beach has a huge wide sandy beach. Most people tend to stay around the pier and the further away from the pier the more beach space you get. On busy holiday weekends the entire coast will be packed with people. During the off season you can walk for miles and only encounter a few surfers and seagulls. One off the most popular activities is riding or strolling the beach trail which stretches from Bola Chica State Beach all the way to Newport Beach. You can spend the day or an entire vacation and will never run out of things to do. Huntington Beach is one of California's best beach destinations. |
