☰Huntington City Beach

The central beach, running about three miles between Beach Boulevard and Goldenwest Street, with the pier at its midpoint. This is the busiest, most photographed, most surfed-on stretch in town. Fire pits run along the sand south of the pier — first come first served, free, and one of the best things to do on a summer evening. Cement bike path along the back of the beach all the way to the state beach in either direction.
