Welcome to Main Street. Nearly every town has one but we think this place is pretty special. One of the 10 safest cities in America features a downtown with year round outdoor dining, Surf City shopping and the ocean and pier in view.

If you've been to Huntington Beach, California, within the past 20 years, you may remember the Sugar Shack. It's still there and now features outdoor tables for street-side dining.  There are dozens of restaurants serving meals outdoors on Main Street: Longboard Restaurant and Pub, Mo's BBQ, Spiral Sushi, Tuna Town, Avila's El Ranchito, Luigi's, Hurricane's, Fred's Mexican Food, BJ's Pizza, HB Beer Company and Jersey Joe's, to name some. Year round perfect weather makes it possible to eat outside nearly anytime. 

On your Main Street stroll  you'll likely see swimsuits, surf boards, people walking their dogs, cars, bicycles and lots of smiles. Those who grow up in Huntington Beach experience a cultural shock when they visit other cities. Kids growing up in "HB" think nothing of putting on their best swimsuit to dress up and go out. 

People wave and say hello to their neighbors and friends on Main Street. It's a "feel good" kind of place. Being on Main makes people happy. If you need to rejuvenate and prioritize the things important in your life, go down to Main Street and buy yourself a meal. When life gets a little too busy, we tell our friends to meet us on Main Street. A nice meal, walk to the pier and the ocean air makes everything feel right.  

Welcome to Main Street, USA!
