Boogie to the Beach for your

Southern California Vacation

If fun at the beach is what you’re after on your Southern California vacation, you may think you’ve arrived at heaven’s gates on Surf City USA™ shores! From bonfires and beach volleyball to ocean kayaking and rolling down the newly renovated Huntington Beach Ocean Strand on roller blades or a beach cruiser, you’ll have so much to do in this free-spirited California vacation spot, your only problem will be choosing among your many options.

No Southern California vacation would be complete without time spent soaking up sun and cooling off in Pacific Ocean surf. The wide, sandy shores of Huntington Beach provide more welcoming and accessible spaces to do just that than almost any other Southern California vacation spot. If extreme action is more your style, surf the legendary waves on a long board or as a kite surfer. Want to take it easy in this refreshing California vacation spot? Pack a picnic and load up the family for a mellow cruise in a rented Duffy electric boat in Huntington Harbour. Or grab an alfresco meal at one of numerous sidewalk cafes along Main Street, where you’ll find some of the best people-watching to be had on any Southern California vacation.

You won’t need a fishing license to cast your line off the Huntington Beach pier, and the edible rewards of your Southern California vacation might include bass, halibut, mackerel, perch, sardines, shark and yellow fin croaker. If your timing is right in this Southern California vacation spot, you may be lucky enough to see the moonlit beach overrun for a few hours with silvery grunion, laying their eggs in the wet sand on a spring or summer evening.

Right near the beach, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your Southern California vacation with a spa treatment, surfing lesson or bike ride on the strand.
