Huntington Beach - Sunset Vista RV Park

Another 'short' drive (by short, I refer to number of miles, and my amount of patience, but NOT time spent on the road) of about 37 miles puts us on the Southwest end of LaLa Land at Sunset Vista RV Park in Huntington Beach.
    Authors Note: Coincidentally, we drove past the hotel where LaLa Land was filmed while doing some site seeing with Wendy's family.

Sunset Vista RV Park is owned by the City of Huntington Beach and is pretty much a long narrow parking lot with marked spaces, water and electrical hookups. That said, as parking lots go, this one is pretty sweet (how often have you ever heard a parking lot described that way). It is on the beach side of PCH (that's the way us "locals" refer to the Pacific Coast Highway). 












There is nothing between you and the beach except a bike/walking path and the folks in the million dollar condos and at the Hyatt Regency have to look OVER you to see the beach and the sunset. Not bad for a parking lot!

You can check out some of the Google public pictures by going here: Huntington Beach Pier Area and clicking on the Google Street View guy.

The place had the added bonus of being steps away from the Huntington Beach Pier and Main Street in downtown. There was a Tuesday night farmers Market, right on Main street. We took advantage of that by getting some fresh fruit and kettle corn. We also stopped in at Kilarney's Pub and grill (not pictured to protect the innocent) to quaff a cool beverage, have a few appetizers and watch the world go by.

We spent some time meandering up and down the beach path...

and had the requisite fire on the beach.
