Bolsa Chica State Beach, State beach along Pacific Coast Highway in Orange County, US.
The three-mile beach stretches from Warner Avenue in Sunset Beach to Seapoint Avenue, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and Huntington Beach.
The area, formerly known as Tin Can Beach, joined the California state park system in 1960, covering 169 acres of coastal land.
Visitors engage in multiple activities including surfing, fishing, sunbathing, and watching wildlife in the adjacent Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve.
