Huntington State Beach, Public beach in Huntington Beach, US.
The beach extends two miles along the Pacific Ocean, offering a wide shoreline with golden sand and consistent waves for water activities.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation established this 121-acre coastal area in 1942 as part of the state beach system.
The beach serves as a central location for surfing competitions, with multiple volleyball courts and designated spaces for community bonfires at sunset.
Five entry points provide access to the beach: Pacific Coast Highway, Beach Boulevard, Newland Street, Magnolia Street, and Brookhurst Street.
The protected coastline functions as a critical nesting ground for the California least tern and snowy plovers, two protected bird species.

California's beaches stretch from the southern coast to the northern shores, each with its own character. Santa Monica features a historic pier and boardwalk, while Venice Beach buzzes with artists and street performers. Laguna Beach impresses with its cliffs and hidden coves, and Pfeiffer Beach stands out with dark volcanic sand. The coastline varies greatly from one place to the next. You'll find everything from busy urban beaches with piers and restaurants to wilder stretches with rock formations and protected marine areas. Malibu has secluded coves tucked between cliffs, Big Sur offers raw, rugged landscapes, and the northern coast near San Francisco brings bigger waves and local wildlife. Southern spots like San Diego and Coronado feature wide, sunny sandy beaches that feel more welcoming and open. Whether you want to swim, surf, or simply walk along the water, these beaches offer something for everyone. Some buzz with activity and people, while others feel remote and untouched. Each place has its own feel and its own appeal.
