🏖️ Huntington Beach shines! City Beach is #1 & State Beach is #2 in OC! From surfing to sunsets, we’re proud to call this iconic coastline home. 🌊✨
We’re thrilled to share that the OC Register’s “Best of OC” readers have voted Huntington City Beach as the #1 Best Beach by residents in Orange County!
Even better, Huntington State Beach, also within our city borders, took home the #2 spot. That means both of Orange County’s top beaches call Huntington Beach home!
This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from our residents, neighbors, and beachgoers who know our shoreline best. From sunrise walks to sunset bonfires, from surfing to volleyball games, Huntington City Beach offers something for everyone year-round.
Mayor Pat Burns shared, “What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it’s not a national tourism ranking or a panel of critics pronouncing a winner, it’s the residents and beachgoers themselves who voted.”
With its iconic Pier, golden sand, family-friendly amenities, and strong sense of community, Huntington Beach isn’t just a destination; it’s a part of our local identity. Thank you to the voters and everyone who helps keep our beaches clean, safe, and beautiful. We’re proud to call this place home and even prouder to be named the best beach in Orange County!
