Street Sweeping Schedules in Nearby Cities
If you’d like to visit Huntington Beach, one way to do that is to visit Newport Beach, CA and ride your bike, rollerblade, or walk north along the bike path.
But check the Newport Beach Street Sweeping Schedule before you do because their schedule is different than Huntington.
It’s a great way to see the ocean and get some fresh air. When there are events that take place near the Huntington Beach Pier, parking can be difficult to find.
So parking in Newport Beach (which is just south of Huntington) and using the bike path might be the easier option.
Another option is to drive north to Bolsa Chica State Beach and park there. The bike path connects Bolsa Chica and Huntington so you don’t need to ride Pacific Coast Highway.
If you go even farther north to Sunset Beach, Surfside Beach, or even Seal Beach make sure to check the sweeping schedules for those towns too.
