Bolsa Chica State Beach, State beach in Huntington Beach, United States
The beach stretches for 3.5 miles along the Pacific Coast Highway, offering sandy shores and ocean views between Warner Avenue and Seapoint Avenue.
The area, formerly known as Tin Can Beach, became an official state beach in 1960, transforming from an informal gathering spot into a regulated recreational destination.
The Tongva people, original inhabitants of this coastal area, maintained a deep connection to these lands through fishing and gathering natural resources.
The beach provides extensive parking facilities, restrooms, showers, and fire rings, with lifeguards patrolling the shoreline throughout the entire year.
The adjacent Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve contains wetlands that support numerous bird species and offers opportunities for wildlife observation.
