A Casual Day in Huntington Beach.

In my high school years, I used to come here a lot. It's a place for youngsters to galavant around, spend the day at the beach and shop. It's tough not to like it here because there's always something to do.

HB (Huntington Beach) is in Orange County about 40 minutes up from South of L.A.; neighboring near Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Seal Beach, Westminster and Fountain Valley. Aside from being one of the most popular beach around, it is also known for its worldwide open surfing competition every year. I've never been to the event because I try to avoid crowds but, millions of people come here to watch the best surfers compete. http://www.surfcityusa.com/events/annual-events-festivals/us-open-of-surfing/

The only downside is parking. It is extremely difficult to find one on the streets but, the other option would be to park in the garage. For 2 hours, you pay a decent price. After 2 hours, they start charging more for each 20 minutes but, you can come here early in the morning before the crowd comes in. Guaranteed, you'll find a spot. Just make sure there's no surfing competitions or festivals happening that day and you're good to go.
