Only an hour from Los Angeles, Huntington Beach, known universally as Surf City USA, is 10 miles of sandy delight. It's the largest stretch of uninterrupted coastline on the entire West Coast.
If Surf City seems to ring a bell, it's no wonder; remember the famous song from the 1960s?
"And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one. You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun.."
The song was written originally by Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame who passed it on to Dean Torrence (of Jan and Dean) to add key lyrics. After the song became a world-wide hit, Dean moved to Huntington Beach and convinced the local officials to adopt the Surf City name for his new home town. They did.
Huntington Beach is consistently ranked in the top five places to live in the USA, with an endless summer attitude and weather to back it up. What's not to love? Have a look............
