If you love nature, critters, and water, then this place has it all. But it's easy to miss the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve if you don't know what you're looking for. Bolsa Chica reserve includes over 1,200 acres of undeveloped wetlands, lowlands, and lower mesa operated by the California Department of Fish and Game, and is hidden along the east side of Pacific Coast Highway in the city of Huntington Beach from Warner Avenue to Seapoint Avenue.
Bolsa Chica is one of the last remaining wetlands in southern California, within the past 100 years the area has been used as a hunting ground, for gun emplacements by the United States military, and as an extensive oil production field. For several thousand years prior to those times, Native Americans inhabited the wetlands and surrounding bluffs.
Although there are still active oil wells on the wetlands today, the area has become the home to a large and diverse collection of flora and fauna, as well as a haven for an abundance of costal wildlife and is open to the public daily from sunrise to sunset. Best of all--it's free.

Huntington Beach Wetlands
Evidence presented at Nov. 15, 2007 California Coastal Commission showing the existence of Wetlands on the Shea Homes Parkland site.
Bolsa Chica Wetlands - Huntington Beach, CA - 2012
Early pioneers called the coastal region including the Bolsa Chica by the name shell beach, because of the hundreds of thousands of empty shells left along the beaches and bluffs by Native Americans. Life was good along the California shore. The Shoshone, who were the first to walk the Bolsa Chica, enjoyed plentiful supplies of fish and shellfish in the wetlands.
Within the Bolsa Chica wetlands and mesas linger the artifacts and people of early California. The 8,000-year-old human remains of ancient burials silently mark time. The unique artifacts of the ancient coastal Californians - such as cogged stones, charm stones, and arrow points - have been found since the earliest pioneers arrived at the Bolsa Chica. There is no question: the first Californians were the native peoples who inhabited the Bolsa Chica mesas and wetlands. Life was good along the shore for the Shoshone-Gabrielino, Tongva, and Acjachemem, who still consider the area a touchstone of earlier times.

This 1,445 - acre wildlife area is one of the premier birding locations in southern California. Each year millions of shorebirds and waterfowl migrate along North America's vast western coastline. This migration creates a river of birds. It's one of four major migratory bird pathways. These wetlands constitute the surviving 10% of our historical coastal wetlands and are essential for sustaining the river of birds.

Huntington Beach Travel Guide | California Travel Tips
In today's episode of California Travel Tips we're checking out Huntington Beach — also known as Surf City USA! Stretching 8 1/2 miles between Newport Beach on the south, and Sunset Beach on the north, Huntington Beach is one of Southern California top summer destinations.
The city got its nickname for its famous surf, which boasts the most consistent waves in California — and on the West Coast.
Huntington Beach Pier — located on PCH at Main Street — is where you'll find most of the action. Many of the Huntington Beach restaurants, surf shops, and attractions are found near the pier, making it a great place to start your visit.
The Surfing Hall of Fame is modeled after Graumann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. It pays tribute to the world's best surfers, including Duke Kahanamoku. Check out the famous hand and footprints of surf legends like Kelly Slater, Laird Hamilton and Corky Carroll, then walk over to Olive Street for a peek inside the International Surfing Museum.
Kahanamoku introduced surfing to the area in 1925, and the city has stayed true to its roots, hosting the renowned US Open of Surfing each July.
In February, more than 20,000 runners join their annual Surf City Marathon — a Boston qualifier with a stunning oceanfront course. And in September, charming Old World Village puts on one of the best Oktoberfests in Southern California, complete with dachshund races and authentic German cuisine.
Plan to stay the weekend, or even better an entire week, in HB. Three Huntington Beach hotels sit right on PCH, including the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa, Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort, and the boutique Shorebreak Hotel. If you have an RV, check out Sunset Vista Campground, which is as close as you'll get to the pier, or Bolsa Chica State Beach up the road.
Now when you're down on the beach, you've got to try their famous cheese strips — also known as strips and cheese. They've been around for 50 years and can be found on almost every snack stand along the shore.
Huntington Beach Pier is one of the West's longest public piers, stretching 1,850 feet in length. After walking to the end, reward yourself with a classic burger, milkshake or fries from Ruby's Diner — or head across the street for an affogato or scoop of gelato from Mangiamo Caffe.
One of our favorite places to eat is Duke's Restaurant — named after the famous Hawaiian surf legend. Come here during happy hour and you can get half off some of their best dishes.
Although surfing is definitely big, there are plenty of other things to do in HB. You can go cycling along 8 1/2 miles of boardwalk, play a game of volleyball on the sand, or take your pooch to Huntington Dog Beach at Goldenwest and PCH. (The Hilton Waterfront and Shorebreak Hotels are dog friendly!)
The 1,200-acre Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve — also known as the Bolsa Chica Wetlands — is an important migratory and nesting spot for birds, hosting over 300 different species. The Bolsa Chica interpretive center is open from 9 to 4 daily, where you can catch the scenic Mesa Trail. On the south lot, you can cross the wooden bridge to the Loop Trail, which travels 1 1/2 miles around the estuary. Public tours of Bolsa Chica are offered the first and second Saturdays of the month.
Around sunset, set up your beach chairs for a s'more roast and bonfire around one of the 600 fire pits in Huntington Beach. There's no better way to end your visit!
Thanks for joining us in Huntington Beach. I'll see you next time!
