Huntington Beach · United States
The short version, from the cited sources
Huntington Beach trademarked the name Surf City USA, and the claim rests on substance: an unusually consistent beach break either side of the pier, the US Open of Surfing each summer, and a surf culture that dates to the 1920s. The sand runs for miles with fire rings, volleyball courts and a busy oceanfront bike path, and the International Surfing Museum and Surfing Walk of Fame sit just inland.
