WALKING THE BEACH

A familiar scene and warming image is the sight of people walking at the beach as the sun goes down in Huntington Beach.

There's often a warm, golden glow on that brushes all the colors with a magic wand, and splashes warm smiles on the faces of those walking on the paved path in front of Pier Plaza. That's where you can sit on the stone steps and watch people walk by happily. It is one of our favorite things to do in the late afternoon.
