California Beaches: Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach
If you want to learn what waves mean to surfers, go no farther than Huntington Beach, which proudly claims the title Surf City. Here, the water isn't just a recreational pastime -- it's a lifestyle. The day begins and ends with glorious sunlight and endless rides, which is why roughly 11 million visitors come each summer to watch the show. The shadow of a fellow surfer falls across another surfer's long board beneath the Huntington Beach Pier.
