Sixteen million people visit Huntington Beach each year, also known as Surf City USA . The town, located 35 miles south of Los Angeles in Orange County on the stunning California Coast, provides many ways to enjoy the beach. One of the best places to take advantage of all this town has to offer is The Waterfront Beach Resort.
The Waterfront Beach Resort
This Hilton destination offers stylish accommodations with picturesque views of the beach, pier and sunsets from its location along the Pacific Coast Highway, just across the street from the sandy beach. Patrons can hear the waves crashing from their private balcony. The “Surf City” theme can be seen throughout the hotel, including surfboard shaped “do not disturb” signs and Hilton’s own “Hang Ten” breakfast express.
While the hotel offers first-class accommodations, it also delivers the type of service that comes with the Hilton name. There is also plenty to enjoy in the hotel outside of the rooms. The tropical patio has a pool with a view of the ocean. Shades Restaurant is the place to be on Thursday nights for wine tasting. A great way to spend an afternoon is to rent bikes at the front desk for a ride on the boardwalk.
Family Friendly Hotel
The hotel offers many family friendly programs, including, children’s stories by the sea, a magician at Sunday brunch, face painting, complimentary boogie board rentals and beach equipment for the entire family. Shades Restaurant, the hotel’s finer dining option, offers a kids-eat-free program. A lighter fare is served pool side at Surf Hero Deli, and kids can enjoy sandwiches, hot dogs, nachos or tropical drinks on deck.
Those who want to really experience the beach life style should try a cookout on one of the fire pit rings on the beach. The Waterfront Beach Resort can prepare it all for visitors with their green wagon program that includes everything one needs to have the perfect beach cookout. The package comes with buns, hot dogs, utensils, condiments and chips. It also has an ice chest with drinks and everything needed to make s'mores. They also throw in beach blankets and firewood, which are all easy to transport in the green pull wagon.
Dog Friendly
This pet friendly hotel has a program, “Wag it at the Waterfront,” to make it simple to bring along man’s best friend. Amenities offered include a dog bed, water bowl and custom treats. Guests can also request pet sitting and walking services. Huntington Beach is known for its canine friendliness and even has a special place, “Dog Beach,” where pet pals can roam free. In the hotel, pets can even dine with their owners at the Surf Hero Deli or on the pool deck.

The ocean views at the Hilton's Waterfront Beach Resort show why Huntington Beach can claim the title of Surf City USA. However, the Hilton not only offers great views, it also provides ways for visitors to enjoy a great beach vacation.
