Huntington Beach Pier
United States / Huntington Beach, California
Location ID: #2542
At 1,850 feet (560 m) in length, the Huntington Beach Pier is one of the longest public piers on the West Coast. The Pier is designed of reinforced concrete and uses an increased space between piles to accommodate surfers. The Pier slopes gently up toward the seaward end in a straight line, which alternates with three octagonal platforms and one rotated square (108 feet on a side) that forms a diamond at the pier's seaward end. Not only is the pier structurally sound, it also retains a number of design elements from the original pier, including haunches at the pile caps and corbels supporting light standards. The Pier is frequented by sport fishermen as well as surfing spectators. The iconic Ruby's Diner is located at the end of the Pier. Commercial pier with bikepath, boardwalk, attractions, asphalt walkways, restaurants, carousel, vendors and shops.
