Huntington Beach in Southern California has undergone a multitude of different changes throughout the years. Most recently, the city rebranded itself as Surf City USA after winning a legal battle with Santa Cruz over the title. There was a time when it was a town where officials discouraged surfing and now it’s Surf City USA. In the 20’s, it was an oil town.
Then decades later, it became a surf town for several years, lined with trademark bungalows, filled with barefoot pedestrians and wet suits hung to dry on the railings. The lifestyle was its own; existing at a much slower pace than other nearby cities.
Today, it has reinvented itself into a resort town. The reinvention has brought about a wave of development to complement its new style.
In May, the city welcomed Shorebreak, a stylish, 157-suite boutique hotel just across the street from the waves. You can also find plenty of affordable California vacation rentals or California holiday homes by the beach. Wet suits and boards can be rented right on the beach at affordable prices. Surfing lessons are offered there, too.
Huntington Beach’s newest reinvention is a risky one as they are trying to build a four-season travel destination around surfing. Really, it is all about the lifestyle.
A typical afternoon for any of the local surfers can consist of beach volleyball, hanging out on the pier, a stroll along the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and a beach fire after dinner. The nearby International Surfing Museum depicts memorabilia from the very beginnings of surfing. Find California vacation rentals or California holiday homes near your destination of choice!

Dine on the Beach at Sunset
Contrary to what we may think, dining in a beach restaurant with a view of the sunset is not an easy task. While it is easy to find restaurants on the beach, the problem is in that Malibu faces south, not west, therefore, making sunsets hard to see. You will need to find a restaurant facing west. The Malibu Los Angeles holiday rental guide recommends the Sunset Restaurant (6800 Westward Beach Road, 310-589-10 07, Thesunsetrestaurant.com. Sure, the food is good and affordable, but the view is extraordinary!
