@autumnseden - Be at the Huntington Beach pier on PCH at 5:30. The sun will dip below the horizon within 10 minutes and then smoke for about another 20. Just when you think it can't get any better, it does.
I loved the beaches out there just as much as I love them over here in florida. I have to say next to Venice Beach with all the colorful people Huntington Beach was my favortiest beach.
"I want an iphone 4 and a pier and a sunset! fab Brad... as they all are! "
Love it!
your pictures capture the beauty perfectly.
