Beachfront Bars in Huntington Beach

In Surf City, "beachfront" means one of two things: a bar on Main Street and PCH looking out at the pier, or one right on the sand further down the coast. Duke's sits above PCH beside the pier, with Hawaiian-style cocktails and some of the best sunset seats in town; Longboard, a block up Main Street, is two floors of surf-bar with big screens and a rooftop patio facing the pier. The Huntington Beach House is the other kind — south along PCH, with direct beach access, frozen drinks, and fire pits once the sun goes down. Duke's and Longboard are an easy walk apart; the Beach House is a short drive.
