Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach boasts the largest unspoiled coastal wetlands in California, Bolsa Chica Wetlands, where many migratory birds stop and nest.

The Huntington Beach Pier (http://www.surfcityusa.co...) is the second most popular sight here, after the beach itself.

Main Street is a shopping and gathering place for residents and tourists alike, with sidewalk cafes, surf shops and live music all vying for attention.
