About Huntington Beach 

Huntington Beach is Surf City USA®. Where the quintessential mild and mellow Southern California beach lifestyle began and still perseveres; where pretentiousness takes a back seat to casual and cool. Huntington Beach is a welcoming town where your clients can feel at home on the sand. With the most consistent waves on the West Coast and surfing as a way of life, this is the only place that can truly be called Surf City USA.

Southern California’s Central Hub. Get away from it all on over 10 miles/16 kilometers of pristine coastline, drive the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, then visit Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios, and other famous Southern California locales. The perfect central hub for a SoCal vacation, Huntington Beach is only 45 minutes from Los Angeles and 1 hour from San Diego.
