“Discover the best of Southern California culture. Offering the most authentic surf lifestyle coupled with 17 kilometres of uninterrupted coastline, Huntington Beach is a welcoming town where visitors can feel at home on the sand. Warm and mild temperatures and year-round sun offer the perfect setting for a wide variety of outdoor activities, fantastic shopping, unbeatable dining and lots of fun. With the most consistent waves on the West Coast and surfing as a way of life, this is the only place that can be called Surf City USA®.”
