Huntington Beach Pier

The iconic pier of Orange County is a great way to kill an hour or so, watch surfers, beachgoers, and volleyball player while enjoying the beautiful OC Sunshine. The nearby parking lots charge as well as street parking meters but if you just drive down an extra street to park, you won't have to worry about going back to fill your meter because it is free! During warm summer weekends it can be slightly tricky to find parking but try to get there early before it gets hot and also be patient, the farther you drive North from Main Street, the better odds of finding a spot
