Huntington Beach, CA

If you like the ocean, sunshine, large sandy beaches, and surfing then Huntington Beach is for you. I have stayed at the Hyatt Resort in Huntington Beach several times. It is a really nice hotel/resort with a couple swimming pools, a spa, good restaurants, and easy beach access over the top of Pacific Coast Highway.

The hotel is fairly large but easy to get around in. The main swimming pool gets crowded so get out there early. I found the services around the pool a little below par but everything else they offer makes up for it.

Lunch at their restaurants is good; eat outdoors if the weather isn’t too bad. Sorry I didn’t mention the weather sooner. The hotel is on the ocean which means that there is almost always a breeze. During the winter months the breeze can feel cold but the rest of the year it is not usually a problem.

Enjoy the pool or enjoy the beach. A short walk down the beach takes you to the pier where you can watch the surfers risk their lives, or you may join them. At the beginning of the pier is their beach shopping area. It has mostly trendy shops and restaurants although there are several good restaurants in the area.

Overall I highly recommend visiting and perhaps staying in Hunting Beach. A fun, scenic, an overall enjoyable place to visit.
