Huntington Beach Pier, California

I can recognize this pier instantly and from any angle. Growing up in Hungton Beach this is an extension of downtowns Main Street that millions of memories have been made. It is the location of the annual US Open surf completion. But for me, it was a babysitter in the summer and a local hangout. We spent our days laying around a lifeguard tower and surfing the pier. The famous Ruby’s Diner was located at the end, known for its milkshakes and burgers but was not able to survive Covid and has since shut down. It was built in 1909 and extends 1000 feet into the ocean. It’s a beautiful place to meet people, walk around, fish from, surf under, and even illegally jump off of on a dare.
