点评:Huntington Beach, California — "Surf City USA"
Surf City USA sits in my top three California spots, and that's saying something. Top billing goes to San Francisco — I left my heart there too — and you can't ever call Big Sur number two, so let's call Huntington Beach and Big Sur a dead heat.
The ritual: get down to the pier early, while the sun is just coming up, and walk it out over the water with surfers working both sides below you. In the morning light, with the marine layer burning off, there's nothing like it.
Parking is easy — there's a lot right next to the pier, beside the world-famous Duke's. And yes, the Duke is that Duke: the restaurant is named for Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian father of modern surfing (he first rode these waves in 1925).
Right across from the pier is Main Street — the town's little main drag — lined with coffee shops and surf shops, exactly what you'd hope for.
Practical note: there's metered parking up front, and the deeper you go the more you find — more lots, more side streets. Don't sweat it if there's no spot right at the pier; keep going and you'll find one.
翻译:加利福尼亚州亨廷顿海滩——“美国冲浪之都”
“美国冲浪之都”绝对是我心目中加州最值得去的三个地方之一,这可说明问题了。排在第一位的当然是旧金山——我的心也留在了那里;而大苏尔也绝对不容小觑,所以我把亨廷顿海滩和大苏尔并列第二吧。
推荐的游玩方式:清晨太阳刚刚升起时前往码头,沿着码头漫步至海面之上,此时下方两侧都有冲浪者在尽情驰骋。晨光中,海雾渐渐散去……没什么能与之媲美的。
停车很方便——码头旁边就有很多停车位,就在举世闻名的“Duke’s”餐厅旁。没错,这里的“Duke”指的就是那位Duke:这家餐厅以夏威夷现代冲浪之父Duke Paoa Kahanamoku的名字命名(他于1925年首次在这片海浪上冲浪)。
码头正对面就是主街——镇上主要的商业街,两旁全是咖啡馆和冲浪用品店,完全符合你的期待。
实用提示:入口处有计时收费的停车位。越往里走,能找到的地方就越多——更多的空地、更多的小巷。如果码头附近没有合适的停车位也别担心,继续往前走就能找到。
