Look at the photo of the smooth 1 -mile long sandy beach! This is beautiful Sunset Beach where daytime light is as gorgeous as the evening setting sun.
One of the rare beaches in California has homes on the beach, something you don't see in the rest of Huntington Beach, the city in which the community of Sunset Beach sits.
There are just over 1,000 residents in this seaside beach paradise in Orange County, California, and countless visitors who come and stay in beach vacation rentals.
In the foreground (bottom) of photo you see the Pacific Ocean. At the top of the photograph is Huntington Harbour, with its manmade channels and homes that sit on the waterways, enjoying private docks.
A black, wavy line through the middle of the picture is Pacific Coast Highway. It is the main road passing through Sunset Beach, which is comprised mostly of homes on the ocean side of the road.
