GENERAL INFORMATION ON HUNTINGTON BEACH & HUNTINGTON HARBOUR

Huntington Beach was popularized in the 1960s as “Surf City” by the surf band Jan & Dean. The city lives up to its nickname with some of the best surfing in California. The beach is several miles long and up to 100 yards deep. The US Open of surfing is held each July south of the Huntington Beach pier. The “HB Pier” is the longest and newest pier in California, and the Pierside Amphitheater features live public entertainment every weekend in the summer. Huntington Beach is also known for its Central Park, which includes an equestrian center, free Frisbee golf course, and enormous public library and playhouse. Huntington Beach has a quarter mile stretch of beach designated as a “Doggie Beach”; the only other such beach in Southern California is in San Diego. The Main Street area was remodeled in the 1990s and now offers many restaurants and shopping opportunities.    

Huntington Harbour is a man made pleasure craft harbour dedicated primarily to residential use with over one thousand waterfront housing units including condominiums, townhouses, and detached houses. Huntington Harbour is located behind the beach front communities of Surfside and Sunset Beach. Most areas of Huntington Harbour fall within the city limits of Huntington Beach; however, some portions are unincorporated.  The majority of the waterfront Huntington Harbour residences include a private boat dock ranging in size from 20 feet to over 150 feet. There are four public marinas and the family friendly Huntington Harbour Yacht Club. Huntington Harbour is the closest mainland port to the “Island of Romance” Catalina Island with its beautiful and historic Avalon.
