Celebrity Beaches: Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach - Surf, Sand and Suntans


Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA®. From surfwear shops and local wave-rider hangouts to suntanned surfers in search of that perfect wave, you can’t help but dive into this beach town’s infectious surf culture.

Main Street is the city’s center, featuring the Surfing Walk of Fame, the International Surfing Museum, the Surfers' Hall of Fame, beachwear shops, casual dining and nightlife hotspots.

Where Pacific Coast Highway meets Main Street, head downstairs to the bustling boardwalk. Enjoy delicious pier-side dining at Chimayo at the Beach or catch a glimpse of a skateboarding bulldog (video)!

Spend a day on the expansive beach playing volleyball, taking a surf lesson, sunbathing or see the pros in action at one of the several surfing competitions, including the U.S. Open of Surfing & Bank of the West Beach Games.
