Swimming in the Pacific Ocean

The areas that we swam in were Long Beach (where the amusement park, "The Pike" was). Seal beach where the otters and seals were. Tin Can Beach where the Tin Cans and firewood were ( we spent our overnights there). Huntington Beach where we rented heavy duty floats to surf with. We spent most of our time on the south side of the pier.

It was dependent on where we were living.
