Huntington Beach

Beautiful, relaxing and incredibly entertaining are just a few of the delightful qualities that make Huntington Beach the ideal vacation destination. You will be stunned by the miles and miles of pristine white beaches, near-perfect weather and a friendly, laid back attitude coupled with the sophistication of one of the world’s largest urban centers. 

One of the most remarkable things about Huntington Beach and Southern California is its near-perfect weather. This means you can enjoy beautiful, blue skies and the ability to take part in fun, outdoor activities almost 365 days of the year. It rarely gets above 90 degrees (less than 5 days a year), drops below freezing, or rains (less than 14 inches per year).

Located in the northern part of booming Orange County, Huntington Beach is a hotbed for activity and entertainment with lots of things to see and do. The beaches’ spacious size (some of the widest in California) and consistent, wide-ranging surf break are just some of the qualities that have earned Huntington Beach the well-deserved nickname "Surf City." 

Huntington Beach is also a Mecca for many other sports such as roller blading, skateboarding, beach volleyball and swimming to name a few. But don’t worry - you can have an incredible time in Huntington Beach just basking in the sun. Millions of people flock here every year just to lie on the warm sand, enjoy sunset walks on the beach or gather around a beach fire after dark. 

There are many interesting, non-beach related activities to choose from, too. Incredible shopping, a beautiful 25-acre public equestrian center, a disc Frisbee golf course (one of the nation’s first), Huntington Central Park and the world renowned Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve are a few to choose from. Unique events occur nearly every day.

The ability to experience complete peace of mind is another key attribute that makes Huntington Beach a great vacation spot. For decades the city has been ranked among the Top Ten Safest Cities by City Crime Rankings. The Huntington Beach Police Department is always on the job and professional lifeguards patrol the beaches vigilantly for any potential unsafe conditions.

They say that variety is the spice of life, and in beautiful Huntington Beach the choice is yours when it comes to picking accommodations or going out to eat. Huntington Beach accommodations run the gamut from a no-frills hostel to world-class, ocean-view resorts. Our restaurant settings vary widely from casual, sidewalk cafes and themed restaurants to more formal dining. 

An extra windfall to the area is its easy driving distance to almost every major Southern California tourist attraction. Disneyland is only 25-minutes away and also close to more than 30 other well-known local attractions that include Universal Studios, Knott’s Theme Park and The Queen Mary - making it the perfect “home-base” for your family vacation! 

So - if you enjoy total stress-free relaxation in an incredibly beautiful and laid back environment - then what in the world are you waiting for? Book an airline ticket or pack the car now. It’s time you experience some quintessential California Dreaming first hand. Huntington Beach is the perfect getaway – for a day, a week or a lifetime.
