Golden West College The City of Huntington Beach, California has long been known as "Surf City USA", and rightfully so! With eight miles of golden coastline and championship waves rolling in, who could argue? So, grab your board, load it into the "Woody" and cruise on down to the beach with us. Along the way, we'll point out some interesting places to you. Check the Huntington Beach Public Library...now this is world class! This multi-floor structure is as beautiful as it is functional, and there's always something happening at the Library! Near the library is a newly completed Sports Center, and an Equestrian Center, as well as an area for Frisbee Golf. Down by the beach on Fridays is the "Farmer's Market and Art A-Faire, a very popular way to end your week or start your week-end! This shopping event features the best of Southern Calfornia produce, fresh from the fields and a widening collection of artisans displaying their handcrafted wares. Come stroll along and nibble while you shop! You can't beat Main Street downtown for people watching! Grab lunch or a coffee, rest for ahile at an open-air table and check out the sidewalk traffic...very casual...and lots of suntanned skin! When you're on Main, you're just steps from the sand, and will see on the sidewalk (in Hollywood Walk of Fame Style) the medallions placed in the sidewalk to honor to some Surfdom's Legends, many of whom are Southern California natives. Downtown is the pulse of Huntington Beach, but there's so much more to show you. When you come to town, let us be your hosts!
