Huntington
State beach sits on the far southern end of the
three beaches. It is connected to Huntington
City Beach, operated by the city. At Pacific
Coast Highway beginning at Beach Boulevard, and
going south for several miles to Brookhurst,
youu'll discover this gem. Its layout is flat
sand and a wide beach with room to play, roam,
have a bonfire or just lie down. Access to this
beach is either on bicycle, bus or you must park
your vehicle in the lot and pay around $10, more
or less. That fee is charged for a full day of
parking, so if you're only visiting for a short
time, it's not as good a deal.
From the air,
Huntington State Beach looks like
flat, thin strip of ribbon that
separates the ocean from the
buildings and land. Some vacationers
like renting a plane or helicopter
to fly over for aerial views, though
you'll often be treated to such
views of Orange County beaches and
Huntington Beach from commercial
aircraft flying into and out of
Orange County Airport in Santa Ana.
Volleyball
nets,
bonfire pits, sandy beaches, the Pacific
Ocean and palm trees line this beach that some
say is rather barren. It's assets are its
sand. There's also a paved bike path some call
the strand. It runs through this beach and
connect nearly 9 miles of oceanfront.
Concession
stands are open during summer months at
Huntington State Beach. You'll find ice cream,
sodas, candy, hot dogs, sandwiches, chips and
the usual beach foods. But you can also bring
your own and have a cookout if you manage to
snag a bonfire ring. They are
available first-come, first-serve basis.
From
volleyball to surfing, sunbathing to just
chilling, you're really going to love Huntington
State Beach if you like long stretches of sand
to sink your toes in.
Huntington
State Beach is located opposite Magnolia Avenue on Pacific
Coast Highway.
