Huntington City Beach, Public beach in Orange County, United States
Huntington City Beach is a public beach in Orange County that stretches about two miles along the Pacific Ocean with white sand and good waves for surfing. The beach extends from Beach Boulevard toward the Santa Ana River and features areas for swimming, surfing, and enjoying the shore.
The beach developed in the early 1900s when Henry E. Huntington opened the region as a coastal destination for Southern California. This early expansion shaped Huntington Beach into a popular location with strong ties to surfing and water sports.
The beach hosts the US Open of Surfing, drawing professional competitors and visitors from around the world to witness this major sporting event.
The beach is open daily with lifeguards, parking, and designated areas for swimming and surfing. Visitors will find showers, restrooms, and picnic areas throughout the beach for convenient access and comfort.
The beach has designated fire rings where visitors can build bonfires and watch sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. These fire pits make the beach stand out from many other coastal locations for evening gatherings.
