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 Southern California's best beach destinations. |
