If you like the above two things, and not much more, this is probably the best city I can think of for it. Because of its central coastal location in Southern California, Huntington Beach is known for having the largest beaches, from concrete to water, and also the largest waves… which means surfer and vollyball heaven.

And the pier is really great.

If none of the above excites you (and it doesn’t have to), then you’re not missing too much.

The downtown/Main St. area is basically just a big parading of kids showing off their bad-ass cars blasting hard rock or punk, and large-ass jeans… funny for a while, but gets old quickly.
