Jack's surf shop, 101 Main Street, <a href="http://www.jackssurfboards.com/locations/locations.html" class="navlink">http://www.jackssurfboards.com/locations/locations.html</a> (it's huge and been selling surf stuff for 50 years) 3. International Surfing Museum, 411 Olive Ave, <a href="http://www.surfingmuseum.org/index1.html" class="navlink">http://www.surfingmuseum.org</a> (it's small, but fun & the old dudes that help run the place know nearly everything that is going on in the local surf scene) All locations listed above are within walking distance of one another.

A good spot to park at these locations is in the public lot to the left (south) of Duke's Restaurant, 317 Pacific Coast Hwy, http://www.dukeshuntington.com/ (thanks to billie_morini on the forum for the info.
