Introduction
Huntington Beach is affectionately known as 'Surf City USA' and certainly has one of the most consistent waves anywhere in the country. This Orange County city defines Southern California, with a laid-back beach culture that has made the state famous. With more uninterrupted beachfront than anywhere else on the west coast, life here revolves around the long sandy beaches, which are perfect for barefoot walks and late night bonfires.
Located 40 miles from Los Angeles, Huntington Beach has a very relaxed feel. Surf shops on Main Street feature the latest trends in fashion, sometimes a year before anywhere else, and on Tuesdays the whole street shuts down to traffic for 'Surf City Nights', featuring nightlife, shopping, dining, street performances, live music and activities for families.
