World famous and known as Surf City U.S.A., Huntington Beach has gained a big name for big waves but offers much more. Desmond Shaw gives us a rundown of the many things you can do off the Orange County coast.
I stopped at Huntington Beach for about 5 hours to to avoid rush hour when driving from Washington to Arizona, driving the coast from the top of the PCH was one of the greatest times of my life, turned a 3day trip in to 3 weeks because you have to stop every 5 minutes it's so fucking beautiful
Right on! It really is...if you ever drive that again make sure you drive through Davenport and Santa Cruz there's some cliffs there that you can stand on the Western edge of America... It's stunning.. about 200 feet up and the wind blows in from the ocean...I grew up about 12 miles inland from Huntington Beach...I-5 was at the end of my street...glad you enjoyed it...it is really is...fucking beautiful.. Gotta bring a mask and snorkel for Diamond street in Laguna Beach... OMG...take the steps down to the beach... Crystal Cove...there's a reef on both sides of the cove 10-15 feet deep warm water all summer... peace! Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school
@@imd1b4u was 20 years ago but I remember taking I-5 from Everett to Grant's Pass, from there took 101 to Sanfransisco, then highway 1 down to Huntington Beach and east to Indio where it was 115 degrees, I cracked a cylinder and had to do 35 mph all the way to central AZ It's a simplified memory but I hope to do a 101/1 from olympic forest to Huntington beach or so one of these days, I highly recommend ❤️
@@imd1b4u I went through big sur at night, I remember gas was 3× anywhere else, the amazing sunset at that gas station lol, I was indeed in a vw, 71 squareback, no missions, just a hundred beach stops lol
@@nunzioification INDIO! OMG! IT GETS AFRICA HOT IN INDIO! how funny...blew my mind to read INDIO on your reply...make sure you do the Davenport Santa Cruz...so many turnouts...you can stay at night for free in a big parking lot at Davenport... peace!
So , I have been to east coast beaches to know , this was a great trip , even though our hotel was some distance. Folly beach, & some other east coast need expensive "re-neurishment" treatment , due to annual erosion , be it storms or natural strong rip currents. Isle of Palms, north of Charleston SC , will always be a fav!
A pretty kool report. I'm kind of surprised to find out that you can't have bonfires on the beach. I thought that went out of style since the eighties. I also thought it was interesting to know that the lifeguards are trained on that Beach.
I'll take south bay, Palos Verdes throughout Manhattan beach, parking is 5× as good, strand included. Laguna second choice, once went there, had to park/walk 3/4 mile with all nessesitys, felt like john candy within a marathon. It was bunk, say least.
Yeah, bu that walk is worth it as it is a completely master-planned beach with beautiful vegetation, view points, & scenery throughout. But then, you have to walk down those flight of stairs to get to the main beach, & since you sound like me, carrying everything with you, that can be quite a task.
Ah Huntinton Beach. I still remember when I still lived in SoCal my family insisted on visiting it so much I got kinda sick of it lol. Seriously though I never understood why Huntinton Beach is so popular. To me Newport or Laguna is so much better.
LOL. I know what you mean. To me, HB is riff raff. Newport and Laguna are both quality. I HOPE and PRAY (yes, some people still pray) they both remain this way.
Neither of the beaches you mention have a pier. As a local, born and raised in HB, it wasn’t always ugly in DTHB & it has more “life” than either one you mentioned too (places to go nearby aka across the street from the beach), also SURFING is more popular in our beach than either Laguna or Newport.
The reason HB is so nice is because it is conservative and too expensive for the riff raff to live there. Id they do come, they know to act right or they will be dealt with by the surfers as well as the locals. HB locals only
Nice town but those local dog owners don't pick up after their pets. It can be really gross because it"s not just in the residential areas but also on downtown Main St. Really gross.
??? The popular Hunting Beach (where you notice an empty beach). 🤦♂️ Hb use to be a very nice beach, but is starting to look like the begining of the down fall of venice beach.
They need to push more sand in the water to make it more shallow.... it's too Steep even i'm afraid to go swim there.... Walk in 12' feet past low tide and water level already up to my Neck and i'm 6'3"...... My Favorite Beach Bolsa Chica State Beach is the same, a few feet past low tide and i'm barely tip-toeing..... ✌✌
I don't think anybody wants to live in that liberal cesspool. Its only time before they come to your 1.6 million dollar house just to rob you blind and nothing you can do about it because, California.
No, not Santa Cruz!! I took a trip up north to that beach & was disappointed to find NO WAVES. Then, I bumped into some locals & asked where the surf spots where around there, & they told me about Mavericks. I still have to go there.
Attention all women. Keep in mind that you don't have to kill your babies, God made you perfect on a NON ROTATING FLAT EARTH IN THE CENTER OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE 🙏😍 we are all FLAT EARTHERS 🙏 let's unite and make more babies and make FLAT EARTH GREAT AGAIN ❣️😍
I love these videos!!
And he's so succinct and informative as a narrator.
👍

A few years ago a whale swam into the cove. Punch in whale visits Laguna Beach.. that's the cove..

It was the go to beach. Place to live in 2008. Now it is oceanside.
Shhhhh! Lol don’t let em know 😂

Oceanside the best
Is HB still run by those bald light skinned people who dress like cholos?
My hometown! A little slice of heaven!
My hometown I love HB.... now live Maui....both AMAZING 👏
STILL my favorite segment!

Actually you can have bonfires at places like Dockweiler beach
You can have bonfires, they said it in the video
Bon fires will never get played out.
I can smell the bonfires in summer. They're fun at night but you have to show up early morning to get one.
The day you show this is the day they closed the beach due to a shark!! How crazy....

Ohhh how I miss you HB. Should have never left.
I feel that!
Miss it soooo much...

When the big one hits I hope to be here
Thanks for letting us know
Huntington breaks in the winter. It's mostly flat in the summer.
I almost drowned last summer at Huntington.
Ah Huntinton Beach. I still remember when I still lived in SoCal my family insisted on visiting it so much I got kinda sick of it lol.
Seriously though I never understood why Huntinton Beach is so popular. To me Newport or Laguna is so much better.
Laguna is the cleanest beach in Socal.
LOL. I know what you mean. To me, HB is riff raff. Newport and Laguna are both quality. I HOPE and PRAY (yes, some people still pray) they both remain this way.

@@poorchristopher15 It also has the most beautiful view in my opinion. At least among those that Ive been to.
@@missevelynr Cant really argue with your point about HB having more "life".
Nothing says summer like stepping on a dirty needle and a pile of human feces.
That sounds more like my neighborhood, Santa Monica.
That would be LA beaches.
Needles in Huntington? I'm guessing you've never been and you probably live across the country.
@@KB-nt7eg He is 100% correct, that is the exact reason I do not go to that beach anymore.
Life goals to have a home out in this area.
Let's make that a reality! Ready when you are!
Best Punk Rock bands are here !
that was dope
Just like Baywatch.
I live here. It's a great place to live. Dog beach is si fun.
Huntington Beach was ruined by overbuilding.
I will complain about the over building by the wetlands.
You forgot to mention the recently spotted sharks😁
A shark in the ocean? WOW!
Don't forget So. Cal Corgi Beach Day also at Huntington Beach. At least twice a year! Looks up in Facebook!!
Dukes restaurant my fav
Yeah I’ve been there and live in new port beach
You can have a bon fire until 9:30, for those that don't live here, it gets dark at 8:30
I remember back in the day where you could have a bon fire late (beyond 9:30) in the evening.
The first place in US for Lifeguards was Atlantic City in 1891
Leave California now! 👍😎
I’m never leaving 😂
@@Aly_1904 then enjoy the libtard nation ☝️😎
You leave, we don't need you😎
Vote Red. Stop crime
Yeah the fire pit thing all kind of rules they hover over you like fly's real fun
A campfire until 9:30pm? What am i 14 years old with a curfew? Campfires begin at 9:30pm and go until sunrise!!! LOL.
Is that right? 18 people drowned in one weekend in Newport? That seems awfully high.
Used to live right across the highway.
Remember. Things for your head?
I love these, but why does the male anchor look so baked LMAO
yeah he def took a hit on his break
There's no life east of Pacific Coast Highway
Just moved to OC, life’s a Beach
What no drone footage of sharks?
Why does it look like there’s an oil spill where people are sitting damn come on
@Knowledge no
@Knowledge Yeah probably oil that offshore drilling environmental hazard
@Knowledge I’ve seen this many many times environmental hazard hundred miles out oil Rigs leaking
@Knowledge Q anon told me this
Wow you can have a fire until 9:30!...so cool...thank you government!

Do you travel?
BUDdy hunigton is the most racist town outside oc
I agree. There are a lot of homosexuals there and it’s a lovely place to live and surf.
Funny, you say “locals only” as if you’re indigenous…
@@imtrippymaine5440 maybe he is Mexican
Nice town but those local dog owners don't pick up after their pets. It can be really gross because it"s not just in the residential areas but also on downtown Main St.
Really gross.
Did they literally just advertise the same place they said you may die at ?
??? The popular Hunting Beach (where you notice an empty beach).
🤦♂️
Hb use to be a very nice beach, but is starting to look like the begining of the down fall of venice beach.
There's no homeless there you tripping
Surf City should be renamed hobo city.
yea what bout Hawaii ??
Huntington W.S. HQ
I’ll take Laguna and Manhattan over that beach.
Worst beach town in orange courny
@@alonzohenriquez442 Not that Laguna is better, but Huntington felt and feels like a tourist trap.
Hermosa is my spot too, as well as Torrance Beach.
so much for social distancing pack everyone back in
Ummm ok...
They drowned because they were trashed. Took one for the team. Salute.

WTF

✌✌
You're a grown ass man, learn to swim
Sounds like a good spot to fish
I bought my house in 1970 for 30,000. now it's worth 1.6 million.....you can't afford to live here.
💯💯💯 you have to really work for it. Keep them fools out my guy, stay safe
I don't think anybody wants to live in that liberal cesspool. Its only time before they come to your 1.6 million dollar house just to rob you blind and nothing you can do about it because, California.
Inland or beachside. It's all on location
Surf city USA is Santa Cruz , not Huntington Beach . This place is filled with rude people.
Worst town to live in orange county
People are icy trash
No, not Santa Cruz!! I took a trip up north to that beach & was disappointed to find NO WAVES. Then, I bumped into some locals & asked where the surf spots where around there, & they told me about Mavericks. I still have to go there.
Dream on,H.B. rules.
Lmao 🤣 who cares. Nothing else to talk about.
Nah. Not who cares. /
you're actually wrong due to the epic waves, hot babes, and smoothest paves ... for skating down hill bombs of course
Exactly! What are we looking at? That beach is gheeeettttoooooo.
California Beaches are terrible looking lmao saddd
