| Where
to stay? The expensive hotels
such as the
Hyatt & Hilton will hit you up for over
$300/night. Most surfing enthusiasts don't have
that kind of cash, so you might consider
checking out the
Extended Stay. The hidden gems
that allow you to hop on a bus for around $1,
and go 5 miles to down-coast to HB from Sunset
Beach are
Best Western,
Ramada (on the beach) and
Sanatra Inn (on the beach).
Where
to eat?
Ruby's on the HB Pier is great!
What to
see when visiting? Catalina
Island is a must!
Getting
to Huntington Beach? By car, exit San Diego
Freeway (405) at Beach Blvd. and drive toward
Huntington Beach. Stay at Beach Blvd. till it
dead-ends at the beach. You can pull into a
parking lot and park for the day. By plane, the
closest airport is John Wayne / Orange County
Airport.
