Huntington Beach, Calif.-Huntington City Beach isn't a "boring" place...not when there are so many types of boards to enjoy and ride.

In the photo above is a view of the City Beach lifeguard tower, the ocean, beach, and two boards. A yellow surfboard and skateboard sit near each other on a brick beach wall. The owner is most likely watching his or her gear not far away. You usually don't leave these boards just sitting in plain view at the beach because they can disappear if no one watches them.

When you go, bring all the boards you can handle. There's bodyboarding, skateboarding, skimboarding, and surfboards that will provide plenty of entertainment for your day or journey.

The parking at the beach near Huntington Beach Pier is city beach parking.
