Sunset Beach, California stretches along Pacific Coast Highway between the ocean and Huntington Harbour, offering a coastal lifestyle along one of Southern California's widest beaches. Originally established in 1904 and annexed by Huntington Beach in 2011, this beachfront community maintains its distinct character with a population under 1,000 residents.
The neighborhood centers around the scenic Green Belt, a 14-acre park running parallel to the beach that hosts community events including the annual Sunset Beach Art Festival. Local amenities include easy access to Bolsa Chica State Beach and Huntington Harbour. The central location provides convenient access to Orange County's major employment areas, while the beach draws surfers year-round with its consistent waves.
Adding to the neighborhood's character, residents collect their mail from the centrally located post office rather than receiving home delivery, creating natural opportunities for neighborly interactions. The area offers a mix of rental properties and residential homes, all within walking distance to the beach.
