Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach Resort, at 500 Pacific Coast Highway across from the Huntington Beach Pier, has 10,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor event space, from the 3,000 sq ft Epic Ballroom to an open-air courtyard and ocean-view terraces. Above the Line provides audio, video, lighting and LED for meetings, weddings and receptions across the resort.
The resort pairs a ballroom and meeting rooms with a fire-pit courtyard and private terraces a block from Main Street. We size sound, video and lighting to each space from the resort's own chart.
Room names, sizes and capacities come from the resort's Floor Plans page at shorebreakhotel.com. Photos are the resort's own. Production notes describe a typical Above the Line setup for each space.
