We're young, we're hot and we've got money to burn.  Where should guys travel to have a good time? Huntington Beach is one California beach option. It offers a pretty good chick quotient (2 girls for every boy) says Dean Torrence who sang a song about it nearly 50 years ago. Dean is happily married with kids of his own, but for guys on the prowl, Huntington Beach has a surfing scene, beach scene, and a couple bars you can check out at night. The hottest place for fun is 'Canes (Hurricanes) on Main. It features DJ's, drink nights and sports events.

Most clubbers get out and explore the OC scene, heading to Anaheim or L.A. for more night life.  The guy getaways where a couple guys pack their bags by grabbing some jeans, trunks, razor, a couple shirts, etc., has traditionally been the driving trips to Mexico for the weekend.  Unfortunately, places like Huntington Beach don't offer that wild scene with partying all night long. One place just north of the border that offers a little more fun is San Diego. The border influence is present at the beach clubs in OB, Pacific Beach and Gaslamp Quarters.

But for local trips from L.A., Central Coast and San Francisco, Huntington Beach isn't a bad place to book a hotel room and catch an Angels game, a concert or some sporting event such as the annual paintball tournament.

Your very best shot at seeing the hottest chicks is in the summer--May through August.  The beach crowd dwindles a lot after school starts. For 10+ Miami-style viewing of thongs and bikinis, US Open of Surfing in late July is the time to go. The rest of the year, the pretty girls are spread pretty thin, as are most the beaches and crowds who've returned to school and jobs.

Huntington Beach guys getaways are seasonally great, and especially nice for surfers or volleyball players who have something lined up. Guys used to come and stay in Huntington for months on end, back when the hostel was around. It's shut down, and now the closest beach hostels are in San Diego and L.A. County.
