The City of Huntington Beach will implement a new registration website this spring! We’re bringing some much-needed improvements to hbsands.org and the overall registration experience for recreation classes. The new registration website will bring enhanced features including:

Expanded search functionality to let you filter activities by location, date, age, interest, and availability.
A mobile-friendly design.
An easier checkout process for online payments.
Online waivers signing and invoicing.

An overall more user-friendly registration experience.

This migration will take place just in time for spring activity and summer camp registration.
