Find Surfing Culture & Memorabilia at Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum!
When you're looking for something a little different than shopping, people watching, or dining downtown, take a half block detour off Main Street and stop in at the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum for a trip down surfing's memory lane! Anyone who appreciates the sport of surfing will enjoy the packed museum's offerings of surfing memorabilia and culture surrounding this time-honored sport. Rotating exhibits ensure repeat visitors will find something new every time. Locals and tourists alike have been surfing in Huntington Beach for the last century, all due to the Father of Surfing, Duke Kahanamoku, who frequented Huntington Beach and introduced the sport of surfing and surfboards to the locals. This small and internationally recognized museum built a shrine to honor Duke, including a statue of his smiling face surrounded by fragrant tropical flowers, which sits just inside the museum entrance. You'll find the vibe of Huntington Beach from years past here, as well as all kinds of surfing items and CD's for sale. Call before visiting as the museum is volunteer run and operating hours are a little erratic.
