Family Fun in Huntington Beach

Get the quintessential Surf City USA^® experience by taking a surf lesson while in Huntington Beach. There are numerous accredited surf schools to choose from all along the 10 miles of coastline, and they welcome surfers of all skill levels and all ages. Local tip: Surf lessons are better in the morning. Don't worry, wetsuits and boards are provided for you!

Cruise the 8-mile beach path to dry off after a morning of catching waves. Views to the west include the shimmering ocean waves and Catalina island's silhouette, while the famous Pacific Coast Highway sits just to the east. You'll run into plenty of spots to stop and grab a bite to eat, take photos, and use the bathroom along the way.

Rent or buy bicycles, tandem bikes, electric bikes, surreys, and more from any number of beach concessionaires along the bike path. You can also conveniently rent from any of the oceanfront resorts. Check out all of your renting and buying options HERE. 

Head up to Sunset Beach for wild tales of Prohibition-era rum-running, eclectic shops, and local eateries. Rent an electric Duffy boat, stand-up paddle board, or kayak from Huntington Harbor Boat Rentals and enjoy cruising through the calm harbor waters with the kids. 

Huntington Central Park

The recently built playground on the west side of Huntington Central Park - between the Disc Golf Course and Kathy May's Lakeview Cafe - features tall climbing structures, tunnels, bridges, a jungle gym, and even a zipline. There's also a toddler-friendly area with a teeter-totter, small slide, and plenty of swings. 

All-Inclusive Playground at the Beach

This pirate-themed playground was designed to provide accessibility and promote interactive play among children of all abilities. The entire playground is surfaced with rubber, as approved by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Accessible features include an AeroGlider, swings, monkey bars, slides, and a fake rock structure. There are also picnic benches available for a nice beachside picnic. 

The playground's official address is 913 Pacific Coast Highway - just north of the Huntington Beach Pier, and you can access it using the pathways from the parking areas and the beach bike path. 

After an action-packed day, kick back by a bonfire - on the beach! Experience a signature Huntington Beach sunset next to a cozy bonfire with delicious s'mores. Beach butler services are available to set everything up for you ahead of time a lá Waterfront Adventures, or you can bring your own firewood and skewers to DIY.

Bonfire rings are available year-round on a first-come, first-served basis unless booked through one of the beach butler services.
