About Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach is a small beach village strung along Pacific Coast Highway between Huntington Harbour and the ocean. Founded in 1904, it was annexed by Huntington Beach in 2011, and it has one of the widest beaches in Southern California.

Housing Stock

Housing ranges from beach cottages to large modern rebuilds and small multifamily buildings, with homes on the sand and along the harbor side commanding the highest prices. Many homes are rentals, which gives the area an active investment market.

Lifestyle & Amenities

A 14-acre greenbelt runs parallel to the beach through the length of town. The Sunset Beach Art Festival has been held every Mother's Day weekend since 1948, and local restaurants and bars line PCH. Residents collect mail at post office boxes rather than having home delivery.

Neighborhoods & Enclaves

Beachfront

Homes facing the sand.

Harbor Side

Homes on the Huntington Harbour side of PCH.

Income Properties

Small multifamily buildings and rentals.

What Sets the Market Apart

  • Beachfront and harbor frontage create two premium tiers.
  • Income properties create a second market alongside primary homes.
  • Narrow lots make design and parking central to any rebuild.
