The focal point of of Surf City USA is the Huntington Beach Pier. Stretching more than 1,800 feet into the ocean, it is the perfect vantage point for viewing the gorgeous coastline and watching the awesome talent of local surfers. Pier fishing in California waters can be fun with a bait shop and fish cleaning stations conveniently located on the pier.
The pier is home to the Surf City Store, Kite Connection and Ruby's Diner, which is located at the ocean end of the pier. What looks like an air traffic control tower is actually Lifeguard Tower Zero, manned 365 days a year by an internationally respected group of lifeguard professionals. At the base of the pier are Duke's and Savannah at the Beach, restaurants that offer upscale atmospheres and beautiful views.
In addition, there are more than a dozen beach volleyball courts nearby. Free weekend summer beach concerts, a weekly farmer's market and other special events are held at the Pier Plaza Amphitheater.
The pier area is also where international sports competitions that draw thousands of spectators and are nationally televised are held. The most famous events are the US Open of Surfing and the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tournament.
