Popular for diverse swells in flat waters, the 3.5 mile shoreline is one of California’s most popular beach destinations for both swimmers and surfers– hosting swimming competitions and surfing championships yearly since 1959. It was even officially adopted as the home of the USA Surf Team in 2005. With over 16 million beach visitors annually, this beach remains a celebrated space for locals, tourists, and athletes alike. - Pacific City Shopping & Restaurants:
