Call it a slogan, nickname, tagline or motto. Huntington Beach is Surf City, USA. But what’s behind that moniker? Whether you’re analyzing it from a marketing, spiritual, political, or historical perspective, the truth is that the United States has four cities calling themselves “Surf City”: Huntington Beach, Santa Cruz, Surf City (North Carolina) and Surf City (New Jersey). Huntington Beach, also affectionately known as “HB,” offers 10 miles of sandy beaches which hold more than 50 surf contests each year, including the legendary US Open of Surfing.
