Sunset at the Huntington Beach Pier

The Huntington Beach Pier is a municipal pier located in Huntington Beach, California. Huntington Beach, also known as Surf City USA, is known for its great surfing. The pier, an icon of the Huntington Beach Coast, is 1,850 feet (560 m) long and is one of the longest public piers on the West Coast. It has been damaged or destroyed four times; in 1912, 1939, 1983 and most recently on January 17, 1988 destroying the End Cafe for the second time in the decade. The first three piers were constructed from wood, the fourth and current pier is constructed from concrete and designed to withstand 31-foot (9.4 m) waves or a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. At the end of the Pier is Ruby's Diner which is a 1940's style diner serving hamburgers, shakes, and other classic American food.
