When my son was young, we used to go here 3-4 times a year... just a fantastic beach !! Now that I'm retired and don't get in the water anymore, we prefer something a little more sedate and cooler.. Morro Bay is a favorite... thanks Chris !!!

This is what I imagined a California beach would look like... I only know California from Movies when I was a little boy, and THIS is what all(!) beaches looked like... always with a tall surfer with long hair called Chuck. Oh, I love cliche's ! ...and again, a perfectly executed video production by 'Yellow Chuck'.

Dude this is awesome.
HB usually gets a D on the beach report annually and can high levels of bacteria. I think it is 150,000 gallons of "treated" sewage gets released 6 miles offshore by the HB pier every day. HB has title "Surf City" but the surfing museum is in Oceanside. Lived in HB 4 different times now over the years. Nice work Chris!!

As you know consistent waves have turned Huntington Beach into the surfing capital of the world, where the world surfing championships are held every year. That said, I don’t think I want to surf in the waters where 1,300 lbs mako sharks 🦈 could be caught off its coast, or great white sharks could be spotted 400 feet from the shore! 🤣 Not withstanding, one of the loveliest places in all of OC. Thanks for the great walking tour, Chris.

Nice tour, Chris. I love going to Huntington Beach whenever I'm in Southern California. One of my favorite beaches if I'm looking for a more active, lively beach experience, since it has the bicycle path and all the good places to eat, drink, and go shopping.

Excellent work as always, Chris! I think your Vegas videos are my favorite. However, this really brought back some great memories. I dated a girl that lived in Long Beach and she brought me down the 1 to Huntington a few times. My FAVORITE place in HB was Jimboy’s Tacos on 5th, but we were heartbroken to see it was permanently closed the last time we tried going down in September. Beautiful beach, mostly friendly folks. Looks like plenty of excuses for me to go back! PS, I don’t hate LAX, but out of mere convenience, it’s SNA for me all the way, unless you can get the rare reasonably priced flight in/out of Long Beach.

Thanks Michael! Yeah... all the Jimboys tacos in Southern California went under during the pandemic. OK... maybe you don't hate LAX... but even more than convenience, you have to admit SNA is just all around a better experience than LAX :)
This spot is so underrated.
Since May 27th, 2015 oil globs have been found along southern California (concentrated near Ventura, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Santa Monica, Malibu, Zuma Beach and Venice Beach). Please warn tourists of oil on Carpinteria beaches....I ended up with an inch thick of black tar stuck to the bottom of both feet. Really hard to get the sticky tar off. I poured olive oil on my feet to remove it, 2 hours later....still not great.
I don’t know if they still have them but Tuesday nights on Main St, they used to have a farmers market. It’s something kinda interesting to do when it’s a little cooler in the evenings.

Great presentation, Chris! HB is my favorite beach in the north Orange County/LA County area. I like the southern Orange County and San Diego beaches better. But I liked HB so well, I lived there, twice! Just a couple of my musings about the beach there: -I went to this beach at night in August wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts. It was cold! I practically froze to death. -Thankfully, HB has fire pits where you can bring your own firewood. -The water can be cold too. If you are used to Caribbean water this water will be very cold to you, around 60 degrees F. (15.5 degrees C.). -Speaking of riding a bicycle on the bike path, police patrol the area on bicycles. They even give out traffic tickets to people riding bicycles who break their city ordinances. -The beach area shown here is the Huntington Beach city beach. There's also a state beach farther to the south about half a mile. It requires a different fee than the city beach. It's also less crowded. -The ladies sometimes wear skimpy swimsuits. I just thought I would put that out there and won't elaborate. ;-) -The map shown in front of the police station makes the pier seem as though it's going straight west out into the ocean. The pier actually goes out in a southwesterly direction. That always messed me up because when I grew up, the Pacific Ocean was always west. When I lived in HB I lived near Beach Blvd and the beach was straight south of there.

Even if it is a lot of people there it seems like it’s a lot of space for everyone to be there and enjoy a beach day without it to be to crowded. 🙂Or maybe it depends on which time on the day you are there. 🤔Are their many tourist visiting now in California? Is this the most busy time there? 🤔🫣🙂
