International Surfing Museum

Look for the world's biggest surfboard next to this small museum (huntingtonbeachsurfingmuseum.org) , an entertaining stop for surf-culture enthusiasts. Temporary exhibits chronicle the sport’s history with photos, vintage surfboards, movie memorabilia and surf music. For the best historical tidbits, spend a minute chatting with the all-volunteer staff. That surfboard? It's 42ft long, 1300lbs, holds 66 people and the Guinness World Record.
