governing_body = The Huntington Beach Pier is a municipal pier located in Huntington Beach, California. At convert|1850|ft|m in length, it is one of the longest public piers on the West Coast. (The longest is Oceanside Pier at 1,942 feet). It has been damaged or destroyed four times; in 1912, 1939, 1983 and most recently on January 17, 1988 destroying the End Cafe for the second time in the decade. The most recent reincarnation of the pier is designed of steel-reinforced concrete to withstand convert|31|ft|m|sing=on waves or a 7.0 magnitude earthquake and uses an increased space between piles to accommodate surfers - as requested by the City. The pier slopes gently up toward the seaward end in a straight line which alternates with three octagonal platforms and one rotated square (108 feet on a side) that forms a diamond at the pier's seaward end. Not only is the pier structurally sound, it also retains a number of design elements from the original pier including haunches at the pile caps and corbels supporting light standards.

The pier is frequented by sport fishermen as well as surfing spectators. A Ruby's is located at the end of the pier.
