Flashback: 1985 Video of the Historical Huntington Beach Pier

On this episode of Flashback – we found a historical piece on the Pier from 1985 featuring the reopening and dedication of the Pier and the Pier’s legendary restaurant, the End Café. A section of the pier and restaurant were destroyed in the storms of 1983, and this special reopening ceremony features the Ocean View High School marching band, as well as two mariachi bands. In addition, the video features historical information the Pier through the years. From the early 1900s, the Pier drew crowds travelling in the old red cars to watch motorcycle races on the beach or to dip in the salt water pool that was located next to the Pier. Today, millions of visitors come the Pier to watch the US Open of Surfing as well as Professional Volleyball – and to still watch amazing sunsets. #surfcityusa #huntingtonbeach #huntingtonbeachpier
