Labor Day can be a hectic time at Huntington City Beach, and this year was no exception, as crowds came out trying to beat the heat.
It is estimated that more than 100,000 people came out to enjoy the cool ocean breezes and spend some time cooling off in the water. With temperatures in the 90s, Huntington Beach was the place to be, and reports say that cars full of beachgoers were lined up to get into a city parking lot at Beach Boulevard.
The warm water was enticing to those who wanted to have a swim or do some surfing, but there was a brick rip current, so marine safety officer Matt Karl was on hand at midday to ask bathers to stay near to the sand. A Print company can produce Signs that warn swimmers about dangerous currents, and these can be placed in parking areas for the beach as well as along the shore itself.
Many in the crowd brought picnic lunches with them, as well as equipment for bodysurfing, building sandcastles, or just shielding themselves from the hot sun.
Alistair Mathews, who was visiting the area with his family, told The Orange County Register that even though they knew the beach would be busy, it was likely to have fewer visitors than other area attractions they intended to visit later.Get a Free Quote for Print Get a Free Quote for Signs
