Huntington Beach, Calif.
-- Huntington Beach
Videos capture the people, music and
community spirit of a beach town named after Henry
Huntington. The videos run from 15 to 90 seconds
and include highlights of the city. Beach videos of
Huntington Beach surfers sunbathers, and even beach
bonfires are the most popular, of course. Bands and
dancing are interesting videos to watch, as well. And
the community service videos featuring Edison High
School, City Hall events, Senior Center celebrations and
a host of activities and folds who make Huntington Beach
succeed are all shown on these video streams. From
getting your passport to learning about beach safety,
and watching an actually rescue from the rip currents,
Huntington Beach videos are probably the most
comprehensive source of videos clips representing
Huntington Beach, not simply as a tourist destination,
but also as a community made up of hard-working,
fun-loving volunteers who take time from their busy
lives to pitch in and make the world better, one deed at
a time.
Fondly remembered by
those who once lived in "HB" or attended concerts at a
former venue called Golden Bear, videos and pictures
help jog the remembrances, drawing people back not only
to a place they recall, but a destination that now
amazes with its new buildings, year-round crowds and fun
atmosphere. Our videos highlight just a few of the
people, places and things that make Huntington Beach a
wonderful home, fantastic vacation stop or lifetime
memory for those who don't want to grow up.

Beach
Bonfire Craziness

Beach bonfires are free entertainment,
but like grunion, you have to snatch 'em.

this Mexican "cholo", or so the man in
the video jokes. |
