Come to Bella Terra for dining, shopping & movies

One of the most beautifully done outdoor malls in Orange county is Bella Terra- a favorite meeting place away from the shore. Sure, it's quite the commercial center and surely there are plenty in O.C but BT's sophisticated architectural charm with a cheery palette is worth...

A major tourist draw during the Orange county summer is the U.S. Open of Surfing, held here in H.B for the duration of one fun-packed week. Tens of thousands crowd the sand and turf for the annual event, held in early August. If surfing is just not your major thing, there is...

From Huntington Beach we drove up the coast about 15 minutes to Alamitos Bay to go sailing on a 34' boat. It was right next to a fun little town named Seal Beach. We drove by the Bolsa Chica Wetlands which is very pretty. We had so much fun and the boat was really plush I...

Get a Taxi Easily
marinarena Says:
For those who want to party hard in the heart of H.B night or day, be relieved that plenty of taxis are available along and by Main St. No need to call for one.The Main stretch, often dubbed "DUI central", is notorious for heavy drinking and some other intoxication. Don't be...
Take, rent a bike
marinarena Says:
H.B. is a very bicycle friendly town, especially by the beach. The main beach boardwalk is full of cyclists, young and older, enthusiast to beginner level. If you are visiting the beach and want to exercise on a bike along the shore, there are a few places where you can rent...

Euro Market Bakery & Deli: Miss European food?

It's supposed to be European products, but I saw especially many German ones such as breads, candies, coffies, chocolate...
Jelly Fish- Waves

Watch out for jelly fish in the summer when the water warms up.If you get stung its going to hurt but just go to a lifeguard and they will fix you up. Watch out for the waves .If you are'nt use to swimming in waves you can get hurt. Always dive into the wave don't stand and...
Look Out for the Waves!
marinarena Says:
As seen up close the waves in HB can get dangerous. There is not always a lifeguard present, so take it easy when the tide is high. Pay heed to the official warnings. Of course, the surfers won't pay any mind and head high, chompin' at the bit to get down and "shread" the...

Know about Surf Turf Debate
marinarena Says:
Seeking out stories behind the city...Surf City is a phrase that stirs up debate between H.B and another California city, Santa Cruz. Both claim this title, though, arguably, H.B. better represents and markets "Surf City" throughout the city on streets and business.
