Take Your Pics

AFTER YOU GET THAT MUST-HAVE SELFIE AT THE PIER, CHECK OUT THESE FOUR UNEXPECTED, INSTA-WORTHY PLACES TO CAPTURE A MOMENT

BY BETH FHANER

Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve

From sunrise to sunset, visitors can hike five miles of trails to find scenic overlooks and plenty of animal life. For a pic that truly showcases Bolsa Chica’s natural beauty, head to the pedestrian bridge located on the trail that’s directly accessible from the parking lot. bolsachica.org

Huntington Central Park

Located in the heart of Huntington Beach, Central Park’s 350 sprawling acres provide plenty of photo ops. We like Huntington Lake, which features an elevated wooden walkway with fantastic views. huntingtonbeachca.gov

PETER’S LANDING

Come here for waterfront dining, quaint shops, and gorgeous views of Huntington Harbour. For a stunning pic, take a shot overlooking the marina from the boardwalk.

Shipley Nature Center

Photo ops abound here at this restored native habitat within Central Park, featuring two miles of walking trails through nature. You can’t go wrong snapping a pic in the Coastal Redwood Forest or at the picturesque Blackbird Pond. shipleynature.org
