Marina guide
Sunset Aquatic Park and Marina
Huntington Beach, Orange County, CA
Overview
Sunset Aquatic Park sits at 2901 Edinger Avenue in Huntington Beach, in the Sunset-Huntington harbor. It is a county-owned waterfront park with a public marina that California State Parks lists as a launch ramp, dry storage and wet-slip facility for boats from 20 to 100 feet. OC Parks says the marinas here are run by private lessees, so slip availability and rates come from the marina office, not the parks department.
What is here
The state boating-facilities database lists a launch with two boarding floats and two carry-down walkways, parking for 187 vehicles with trailers, and dry storage for 162 boats. Dock services include shore power, water, showers, restrooms, a washdown area, laundry, and oil disposal and pump-out. The marina also advertises wet slips and FOB-controlled entry.
Guest slips and launching
The Sheriff's Harbor Patrol lists guest slips here at $0.50 per foot per night with a $50 dock-access security deposit, and says trailer boats can launch for a per-day fee that includes 24-hour parking. Published launch figures differ between sources, so confirm current rates by phone before you go.
Getting to sea
Boats leave through the Anaheim Bay channel at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station. Personal watercraft must be towed through the area, and kayaks and paddleboards are prohibited there, so these craft should stay inside the harbor. The harbor itself has a 5 mph limit.
Getting there & access
By water
The marina is inside Huntington Harbour. To reach the ocean, run out through the bridge and the marked Anaheim Bay channel at the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach. Stay in the marked civilian channel and follow Navy instructions.
Trailer boats
The ramp has two boarding floats and carry-down walkways, with parking for 187 vehicles with trailers. Pay the posted fee at the gate or wash rack; the Harbor Patrol page cites a per-day fee that includes 24-hour parking, but figures differ by source, so check current rates. Tell staff if you will leave a vehicle for an extended period.
Guest slips
Call the marina office or OC Parks marina manager to arrange guest dockage. The Harbor Patrol lists a $0.50 per foot nightly rate and a $50 security deposit for dock access.

Dry storage and trailer-boat care

Find Marinas, Storage & Dock Services providers →Engine and outboard service
Boats making the trip through Anaheim Bay to sea depend on reliable cooling systems and impellers, and the fuel situation inside the harbor is limited.
Find Marine Mechanics & Engine Service providers →Hull cleaning for wet-slip boats
Warm, sheltered harbor water drives marine growth on boats in wet slips, so regular diver cleaning is common.

Sun and salt on boats stored outdoors lead to oxidized gelcoat and regular wash-and-wax work.
