Huntington State Beach is the site of a nesting sanctuary for the California least tern, a rare and endangered species. The beach is also sanctuary for the threatened snowy plover. The park also features a bicycle trail. Surfing, skating and surf fishing are also popular. The park has fire rings for bonfires. This popular beach extends two miles from Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach south to the Santa Ana River on the Newport Beach boundary. This is a sheltered beach break that usually has waves and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast. Clean groundswells prevail and the ideal swell direction is from the west southwest. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Good surf at all stages of the tide. When the surf is up, crowds are likely Beware of rips, locals and pollution.
Fantastic beach for spending your evening!! The shore is easily accessible and sandy and you can run as much as you like!!
We unloaded the car, played sand wars with the kids and ate our lunch while resting at the warm and soft sand!!
The sunset looked amazing from there and the birds were flying all around to get a chance for a quick meal!
Absolutely lovely place especially if you like to bird watch.
