Huntington Beach Considers Museum Relocation Plan

Published on 7.3.25

  Huntington Beach officials are considering relocating the city's museum to a vacant area of the library to create a cohesive cultural district along Main Street, capitalizing on the area's international surf destination reputation. The Huntington Beach Art Center has expressed preliminary support for the move, which could help drive tourism to the upper end of Main Street. The museum was founded by Canadian Natalie Kotsch, who envisioned a space where visitors could see memorabilia and art related to surfing culture. Although previous relocation plans were met with resistance from local surfers, officials are now exploring new options, including collaboration with the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center in San Clemente.
