Huntington Beach State Park

As we continue our "California Beach Tours" (CBT's), we made our way to the Huntington State park beach today. Prior to that we took a short detour via the Fashion Island shopping mall, just to make sure we did not miss any hot deals!

The beach in Huntington is huge. It probably stretches over a 3-4 mile length, all of it pure silky sand. The locals really seem to enjoy this facility, with picnics, sports and all kinds of other outdoor activities, right on the beach. You should see the size of some of the barbecue grills that they bring along onto the beach, for the day!

I'm continually amazed at how this state has successfully kept developers from annexing the beach areas to develop into high priced condominiums. With the apparent money that people in this state have (saw 3 Lamborghini's (on the road), a couple of Ferraris, and countless hot Porsches (not the normal type)), it seems that there would be ample leverage to make the beaches available for "proper development". Not knowing the background, I can only congratulate the local governments for preventing this. It is so nice to go to a clean, safe, gorgeous public beach. Thanks California.

Anyway, getting back to the subject, we had another nice day at the beach, in Huntington.Starting off with a little girl, playing nicely in the sand....

Moving to a little girl being buried and looking all sandy when pulled out...

To another girl (not so little anymore) also being buried....

To her brother taking advantage of the situation.

Nice day....
