Huntington Pier Sunset Art Prints
The Huntington Beach Pier is the highlight to any visit to Huntington Beach, California. It is the anchor to the downtown shopping district along Main Street, and to the City Beaches, the focal point of this tourist destination. First built in 1904, Huntington Beach Pier is said to be 1853 feet long, and was rebuilt in its current rendition with re-enforced concrete pilings. Read the background of the rebuild campaign effort that began in 1991 to rebuild the Huntington Beach Pier as the tourism focal point for the city. Drive less than one mile and the pier is on the left side--you can see it as you approach it. Parking is available next to the pier. Flat fee is charged on busy summer days, and the rest of the time you can purchase time in one of the machines in the parking lots. Huntington Beach Events features a full calendar of events with hundreds of events and things to do. Some are available every day of the year. Thanks to historic surf-riding demonstrations in the waves alongside the pier by legendary Hawaiian watermen George Freeth and Duke Kahanamoku, this landmark is an integral part of Huntington Beach surfing lore. Rebuilt after two storms in the 1980s, today's pier stretches 1,850 feet into the Pacific Ocean, making it one of the longest piers on the West Coast. It's the symbolic heart of Huntington Beach, a place where locals and visitors come out to watch surfers and savor the splendor of the coast - especially at sunset.
