Huntington Beach Pier Live Cam, Surf City USA
About this camera
The City of Huntington Beach streams this view from the Huntington Beach Pier, in the heart of the city that calls itself Surf City USA.
The pier is one of the longest public piers on the West Coast, stretching nearly 1,850 feet into the Pacific from the end of Main Street. Earlier versions were damaged by storms over the years, and the current concrete pier opened in the early 1990s. Anglers fish along its rails, and visitors stroll out to watch the surfers below.
Huntington Beach is one of the most famous surf towns in the world. The waves on both sides of the pier break consistently, and every summer the beach hosts the US Open of Surfing, one of the sport's biggest events. Downtown, the International Surfing Museum and the Surfers' Hall of Fame celebrate the town's surf heritage, and the long beach is popular for volleyball, cycling and evening bonfires further north.
The weather is mild all year, with fog-prone mornings in early summer and the warmest days in late summer and autumn. Winter brings big swells and clear days, and sunsets over Catalina Island can be stunning. California uses Pacific Time.
