Huntington Beach, California Travel Guide





Huntington Beach is known for it landmark pier, and its wide, sandy beaches not far from Disneyland or Newport Beach's Catalina Island trips. Measuring close to nine miles in length, the city's bragging rights as far as its beaches go, are that only one residential condo community sits on that entire span of public sand. Very few cities in Southern California enjoy such expansive beaches minus the houses. Located 15 minutes from John Wayne / Orange County Airport, 40 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport, 40 minutes from Los Angeles nightlife, and two hours by car to San Diego, this Orange County beach city has come into its own as a weekend getaway. It was always known by vacationers as a cheap place to stop and enjoy swimming and beaches.

But the cheap days are being replaced with upscale as boutique hotels are increasing (will be four of them soon), and budget hotels disappear along the premier coastline. For the most affordable vacations, keep looking at the Best Westerns and smaller hotels or even look to stay in Sunset Beach hotels. For luxury resorts, check out these offerings:
Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort and the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa are the premier hotels near the waterfront with ocean views from rooms and suites. Becoming more popular, the hotels are being joined by additional, new boutique hotels along the beach, and contribute to making Huntington Beach the desirable beach vacation near Disneyland Resort with its two theme parks.

What to do in Huntington Beach, California? Major events include surfing, volleyball and free, outdoor summer concerts at the beach. Stay at the beach, with Disneyland and California Adventure theme parks within reach!

Are you ready for a cozy beach bonfire with crackling embers, the sunset glow and some friends or loved ones? Fun, free, and totally Huntington, this activity is but one of the many aspects of this north Orange County city that make life feel so enjoyable and easy.
