Minimalist vector-style illustration capturing the essence of Huntington Beach, famously known as Surf City. The artwork showcases a captivating golden sunset, with the ocean waves gently rolling in and a skilled surfer catching the perfect wave, all beautifully encased in a circular design using the official city colors. "Huntington Beach" proudly graces the top of the illustration, while the date of its establishment and "California" are thoughtfully inscribed in a smaller font below. This art piece perfectly embodies the laid-back coastal charm and surfing culture of Huntington Beach, making it a must-have for anyone enamored by this iconic Californian gem.
