2016 Presidential Election Results for Orange County

With its signature ocean swells, miles of public beaches, and the International Surfing Museum, Huntington Beach rightfully secured “Surf City, USA” as its official nickname in 2006. This coastal Orange County town is relatively serene compared to the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles to the north and is home to several popular throwbacks that transport visitors to bygone eras.

The heart of Huntington Beach is undoubtedly the area around the intersection of Main Street and the Pacific Coast Highway, where downtown meets the sandy shoreline that gives the city its name. Here you’ll find plenty of tropical restaurants, seaside bars, surf shops, a weekly farmers market, ocean-view hotels and apartments, plus the Huntington Beach Bike Trail which runs along the coast for miles in either direction. This is also where the historic Huntington Beach Pier — featuring the 1940s-era Ruby’s Diner — juts out into the Pacific toward Santa Catalina Island.

There’s more to Huntington Beach than surfboards, though. About three miles up the coast from downtown are the Bolsa Chica State Beach and Ecological Reserve, ideal destinations for camping, fishing, and birdwatching. Huntington Harbour, just inland from the PCH, is a planned community consisting of five man-made islands with waterways in between each residential section. Back toward the center of town is Huntington Central Park, which comprises more than 350 acres of greenspace and contains several walking trails and ponds, plus a nature center, library, bandstand, lakeside cafe, equestrian center, disc golf course, and senior center with a wide range of activities and services designed specifically for older residents and retirees. Other unique attractions within Huntington Beach include time warps like the late-1800s Newland House Museum — the city’s oldest residence — and the Old World Village, a quaint shopping district built to evoke Germany of centuries past, where you can roam the lantern-lit cobblestone streets, browse novelty shops, try some Bavarian bratwurst or other cuisines from around the globe, and join the annual Oktoberfest celebrations.

Transportation

Public transportation in Huntington Beach is available via the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), which provides nine bus routes in Huntington Beach.
