Sunset Beach delivers classic oceanfront living with a low-key, sand-between-your-toes feel and quick access to the amenities of Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, and Long Beach in Orange County. Mornings might mean a surf check and a coffee along the Pacific Coast Highway, followed by a bike ride toward the wetlands. For an overview of what locals love, explore Visit Huntington Beach’s neighborhood guide to Sunset Beach, an official resource that highlights dining, recreation, and events. The nearby Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve offers miles of trails and birding at the water’s edge, while Bolsa Chica State Beach provides family-friendly fire rings and long, walkable shoreline.
Weekends often center on the water. Launch a paddleboard in the calm channels of Huntington Harbour or tie up at Peter’s Landing Marina, a harborfront hub with markets and seasonal events. Classic seafood spots like Captain Jack’s keep traditions going with harbor views and a lively happy hour, and community happenings—from summer concerts to the long-running art festival—add small-town warmth.
Families appreciate school options in the highly regarded Los Alamitos Unified School District, with students commonly attending J.H. McGaugh Elementary, Oak Middle School, and Los Alamitos High School. Housing spans quaint beach cottages, townhomes along the harbor, and custom oceanfront builds, with walkability and coastal sunsets as everyday perks.
