I went to Huntington Beach pier to check out the Farmer's market that is set up at the foot of the pier every weekend. I arrived around eleven in the morning and decided to park at the far end of Main street where parking is easy enough to find and walked to the beach. I was surprised that there was not much traffic and very few pedestrians - probably because it was a Friday, the sky was overcast and all the young people were at school.
A view of Main street which is normally teeming with people either shopping or looking for a place to eat
Taken near the foot of HB beach pier where Main street formed a T with Pacific Coast Highway
An almost empty beach extending as far as the eyes can see
A few fishermen trying their luck at the end of the pier. On a good day, the catch can be rewarding but even on days when the fishes are on vacation somewhere else, it is very relaxing to spend the day wetting your line LOL.
There are surfers even on days when the waves are so-so

Keep shooting and thanks for sharing!
I do! I have toyed with the idea of relocating somewhere else now that I am retired but it hard to leave Southern California with its fine weather and more. Thanks for visiting.
