Is there anything more "California" than roller skating by the beach with the sun sinking beneath the horizon in the background? Huntington Beach's 10-mile oceanfront paved path stretches from the Santa Ana River up to Sunset Beach, so there is plenty of space to get rolling.

Huntington Beach boasts 10 miles of uninterrupted shoreline, and running parallel to it is a paved beach path offering the perfect route for hours of smooth skating. Head south to skate down to Newport Beach, or cruise north into Sunset Beach. Whichever way you choose, the epic views leave little to be desired. 

You can even stop for some snacks while shredding up and down the coast at Dwight's, Jack's, or Zack's.
