Parks & Nature
If you walk going North East, on the beach, there's this little spot that great to hang out! The Jetties! We LOVE fishing here! Directions below:
"The South Jetty is at the north end of Huntington Beach State Park. When you enter the park, turn left when the road forks, after you’ve crossed the causeway. Are then end of the road you can park and walk to the jetty. This jetty is more than three thousand feet long. It has an asphalt walkway on the jetty for fishing. Flounder, black sea bass, gag grouper and bluefish are just a few of the species you can expect to land off this jetty. Finger mullet are a good bait choice here. They can be netted in the marsh or in the shallows near the jetty."
