A few of us ended up on Main Street after stopping by Farsio Dental Specialty Group, and it turned into one of those afternoons where nobody wanted to head home. We grabbed lunch at a little spot, wandered through a few shops, and then walked out to the pier just to watch the surfers for a while. The whole area has a fun, laid-back vibe that's hard not to enjoy.

If anyone went to Huntington beach as kid and went now you would be so disappointed. Reasons:1. Restaurants and stores have zero concept of hygiene, have no idea how they are still open.2. Famous musicians used to want to open restaurants here because they crowd was diverse and from all over the world.. now only certain types of people come here, and they love having oil wells near their houses let’s just say… they don’t make eye contact or smile at people… so interesting restaurants don’t come here and bring interesting food because no one wants to be around a bunch of grumpy grandpas having breakfast at the same place for 30 years, with their hateful ideologies and diversity hating tendencies. Why else is the most interesting place to get ice cream a baskin robins? Can you imagine a beach town with only one or two ice cream spots? One a chain?! Welcome to Huntington. 3. They let hateful protestors yell at people on the street, “you need Jesus to save you or you’re dammed” kind of thing… give it a rest Huntington, how do you regulate companies from having patio seating but can’t stop people from being heckled at? The police roam around constantly but can’t stop my kids from being told they’re going to hell by a random guy on the street? Thanks a lot, I see where your priorities are. 4. It full of sports bars and muscle cars, if you’re looking to drown yourself in toxic masculinity and not get any sleep because of roaring engines the literally block the sound of the beach this is your stop. Everyone from out of town looking for a beach vacation please go to laguna beach and have a good time. I’m never going to Huntington ever ever again! Their weird politics have literally killed it’s economy but I’m sure they’re happy with themselves even if no one else is. I’m sure even Duke Kahanamoku cries in his grave seeing it now.

Great town to hang out next to the beach and the pier. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars to choose from. What a beautiful day

We came during the week and quite a bit was closed. Ended up walking the pier and beach. Have to say the worst public toilets I’ve ever seen and I’ve hiked the UP in Michigan! Ate at Sandy’s Beach Shack - good food!

It is what it is. Good walking area. Main Street is where most of the shops and restaurants are. Lots of shops for surf stuff, as you'd expect. Lots of pedestrians walking around but not overly crowded. Only saw one sketchy character. Main Street ends on the Pacific Coast Highway right across from the Pier. I'd skip the Pier but recommend Duke's at the start of the Pier.
