named by the New York Post as one of the top five
destinations for teenagers and their parents. Surf City is a favorite
place for kids to not only eat and shop, but participate in many
recreational sports. Also, Huntington Beach is consistently ranked in
the top 10 safest cities in America (population over 100,000).

SURF
(daily, esp. during summer) Most popular are surfing camps that
specialize in teaching beginners to get into the water and onto a
board. For the active youth, however, Huntington Beach has a
reputation as an extreme sports venue and in the past several years,
has been home to competitions such as Core Tour BMX and King of the
Dirt Hill, US Open of Surfing and Beach Games ASP 6 Star Rating
qualifier, ESPN X-Games surf competition with East meets the West,
National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) Competition, Association
of Volleyball Professional (AVP) Pro Beach Volleyball Competition,
Hello Kitty Boardfest with Holly Beck, Serena Brooke Surf Camp and
Van's Triple Crown of Skating. There are over 50 surfing competitions
throughout the year, as well. Huntington Beach is known as "Surf City,
USA" with great waves all year round. Link to live surf cam Surf

FISH (daily) Also, you don't need a license to fish on

BONFIRES ON THE BEACH (daily) Temps. at the beach change very
little from season to season. On most evenings in Huntington Beach,
California, you can smell the wood burning from campfires at
Huntington's three beaches, Huntington City Beach, Bolsa Chica State
Beach and Huntington State Beach. All three have cement fire rings
offered for free use on a first come first serve basis. The campfire
tradition lives on from generation to generation in this time honored
celebration that brings families, friends and business associates
together in a circle, huddled around the warm glowing flames to fend
off the chilled night air of the Pacific Ocean. While evenings in
Huntington Beach seldom reach below 55 degrees and the average
temperature is around 62 degrees, the ocean sometimes creates a misty
atmosphere that, along with the soft winds, creates a chill.

exposure to the sun and pier. Bring blankets and chairs if you like.

chimes to rugs and clothes, you never know what you'll find at this
event, though you can be sure you'll see lots of colorful California
gifts.
