Nice palace to take your dog for a few hours they will have a blast but remember they will get sandy and salty so bring lots of stuff to keep the car clean and MOST OF ALL please pick up your dog poop!!! This beach was originally owned by surfers and they were not happy with the dog invasion but we have learned to share but keep it clean cause they are watching!!!!

This is the best place to take dogs. Huntington Beach has a dog beach. Dogs can also walk along the sidewalk that runs along the beach. If you travel further south, there's Newport Beach and Fashion Island--dogs are welcome. Even further south, there's Laguna Beach, that allows dogs on the beach off season. But dogs are welcome around town and in the park overlooking the ocean all year round

Piers that go out in the ocean are so interesting and beautiful to me. In the three weeks that we recently spent in California, the San Clemente pier was the only one we were able to visit. The walk out to the end on the sunny, windy day was exhilarating!
4. The Reptile Zoo

We took our grandson to the zoo because he likes everything reptilian. He was not disappointed. The collection is very extensive to view and sells various species and supplies.
You can schedule a group visit for birthdays or other kid's events. Bring your own food and they provide a lecture room and dining room.
The premises are a little tacky and run down, but the kids are so enthralled they don't notice.
5. Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve

Reviewed By Hal72 - Olympia, Washington
We come here to bird and photograph, as do many. Wonderful wide, well maintained trails and bridges. Much to see and signage is pretty good, too. A great birding spot, check e-bird for most recent signings. The area is somewhat multi-use so there are some runners and walkers out, too. Plenty of room for all. It is a very exposed and open walk. Bring water, sun protection, etc. The parking area is small and accessible only from the south.

The beach was beautiful but our time spent was visiting the Atalaya Castle. Atalaya means watchtower. It was the home of Archer and Anna Huntington. Location was chosen for a milder winter retreat due to Anna's health condition. Truly just a shell but the 30 rooms were ever so huge - you could actually imagine what it looked like if the walls were there & how it was furnished. Truly enjoyed our time venturing through the castle. Give it 5 stars!

Tuesday night street fair is always fun great to check out all the happy hour specials. Lots of restaurants/bars competing for business take a stroll and see what you like! Kind of like shopping for the best deal or that and your preference of food

Going to the Central Park in Huntington Beach has been great. The Central Library and the park is a great place to visit and the scenery is good. During Labor Weekend, there is a Civil War reenactment and it was so much fun touring each tent and actors are very informative about the unit they represent.
