Huntington Beach is a city just south of Los Angeles that is home to over 200,000 residents.

Also known as “Surf City”, or even the “Surf Capital of The World”, the seaside city of Huntington Beach is named such because you can surf the waters in the area all year long. Along with a nearly 10-mile stretch of sand, Huntington Beach is known for its beach culture, ocean views, piers, and as a haven for aquatic sports. The city is home to the International Surfing Museum and is also a great place to enjoy golf, equestrian, bicycling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and so much more!
