Located in the sunny state of Southern California, Huntington Beach is a stunning seaside city situated in the Orange County. The city is known for its long stretches of golden and sandy beaches, along with surfing and mild weather. Huntington Beach is also popularly known as the ‘Surf City’, due to its excellent quality of waves and surfing options available throughout the year. With a population of 189,992 (US Census 2010), Huntington Beach is the largest populated beach city in the county and the 7th populous city in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area.
