Huntington Harbour is one of the few places in Orange County where you can step off your back patio and onto a boat. The community is built across five man-made islands in a protected bay at the northern edge of Huntington Beach, with a navigable channel connecting the harbour to the open Pacific. Homes with private boat docks here range from waterfront townhomes to full estate lots with docks large enough to accommodate vessels over 50 feet. The listings below update directly from the MLS every 5 minutes. Call or text 949-430-7500 for a current list of dock homes that match your criteria.
The Five Islands of Huntington Harbour
Huntington Harbour is organized across five distinct islands, each with its own character and mix of waterfront properties.
Admiralty Island is the largest and most prominent of the five, home to some of the biggest waterfront estates in the harbour with wide water frontage and long private docks. Properties here tend to have the most expansive bay views and attract buyers looking for larger lots and serious boating capability.
Humboldt Island offers a mix of single-family waterfront homes with private docks and a quieter, more residential feel. Lot sizes are varied and the island has seen significant renovation activity, with many homes updated or rebuilt in recent years.
Gilbert Island is a smaller enclave with waterfront homes on both sides of the water, giving many properties a more intimate harbour perspective. The island is popular with buyers who want private dock access at a more accessible price point than the largest Admiralty Island estates.
Trinidad Island and Davenport Island round out the harbour with additional waterfront inventory, including townhome and condo communities where dock access may be private or shared depending on the specific complex.
What to Know About Private Boat Docks in Huntington Harbour
Not all waterfront homes in Huntington Harbour are equal when it comes to dock access. The key factors are dock length (which determines what size vessel you can accommodate), water depth at the slip, the orientation of the dock relative to bay traffic and wake, and whether the dock is private to the parcel or shared with adjacent units.
Most private docks in Huntington Harbour can accommodate boats in the 25 to 50-foot range, with larger estate lots sometimes rated for vessels over 50 feet. Dock condition and any needed repairs are important due diligence items, as private docks are the homeowner's responsibility to maintain in most cases. We evaluate dock specifications and condition as a standard part of every waterfront buyer consultation.
The harbour channel connects to the Pacific Ocean at the western end of the community, giving boaters true ocean access from their backyard. Most recreational vessels can navigate the main channel without difficulty, making Huntington Harbour one of the most functional boating communities on the Orange County coast.
