Huntington Beach

With eight miles to run on the longest pier in California, the best place to run is the trail along Huntington Beach. Known locally as “Surf City USA”, Huntington Beach is a safe place to run because there are other runners, walkers, and surfers around at any hour of the day. If you want to keep running, the trail also meets up with the Newport/Balboa Trail and the Santa Ana River Trail along different points.

As you run, you’ll have a beautiful view as the waves crash in the distance. If you have a dog, you can bring them along, as the beach allows furry friends. When you’re done running, you can people watch as you cool down.
