HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—On a glorious stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, just south of Los Angeles, lie the beaches of Orange County. Lined with palm trees gently swept by salty breezes, small communities are scattered here, each with its own distinctive character and vibe.
In Huntington Beach, which lies smack dab in the middle of the O.C. with 10 miles of uninterrupted beaches, surf culture is visible everywhere—perhaps nowhere as much as around the confluence of downtown and the Huntington Beach pier, which is so long it seems to jut right out into the sunset.
