About Bolsa Chica State Beach
The shoreline runs three miles from Warner Avenue in Sunset Beach south to Seapoint Avenue, where Huntington City Beach picks up. A bicycle path runs the length of the beach and continues on through Huntington City Beach. Across Pacific Coast Highway from the sand lies the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, known for birdwatching, giving visitors a wetland to pair with their time on the water.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
