One picture is worth a thousand words. That's why this family is taking a picture.  You may not see it but the Huntington Beach Pier is in the background of this family photo the man is taking.  Throughout the holidays, people don red felt hats with white furry balls for their festive holiday photos to send to family and friends. The most photographed object in Huntington Beach is the pier. It is a spectacular structure made of reinforced concrete pilings that are coated with epoxy for long wear. The beach location is Huntington City Beach near Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway. It is the most popular beach to visit when coming to Huntington Beach.  Surf City includes three separate beaches but to the eye, they look like one. There is no geographic marker separating them specifically. Two are operated by California State Parks system and are located north and south of City Beach. City Beach connects to Main Street, the focal point of this great beach experience you don't want to miss when visiting Southern California.

Why Huntington Beach'  Guests to Los Angeles and Disneyland in Anaheim sometimes come across Huntington Beach by accident. One tourist from England said he did not feel good in Santa Monica because it was too busy and felt like a city rather than a beach. He and his girlfriend drove south to Huntington Beach by rental car and both agreed that they would stay overnight. It had good vibes, he said. It just felt right.
