So I would say if you have heard about the beautiful beaches, great sunsets and easy going lifestyle then this is the beach to visit. Just north of Huntington Beach Pier with a bike path that will take you from city to city. All along the sand so you better like the beach. Other side to that is everyone loves to come here so it is busy. The campground is a parking lot with everyone really close together. I still don't know how those big rigs get themselves in and out. This is the reason I give it a 3. We had one weekend we invited the family down to the beach and everyone got locked out because it was full. Plan ahead. The family always likes to come because it is a short walk and your are playing in the waves or riding a bike to get an ice cream. I recommend this SB but would suggest you come with the mindset that it is a popular location and will have to interact with lots of people.
