With a population of nearly 200,000, Huntington Beach is one of the 100 largest cities in the US. Located 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles, Huntington Beach was voted the number one city for business in California by California Business Magazine. In addition to its 9 miles of beautiful sandy beaches, Huntington Beach is now home to a 60-slip, concrete floating dock marina at Tennis Estates, a local residential tennis and marina development.

As the turnkey contractor, Bellingham Marine Industries replaced the existing slips with the latest generation of its patented Unifloat® dock system. The marina includes three docks with single-piece fingers and lengthened headwalk modules with a single waler system. The new dock system is built around the existing concrete pilings so the dimensioning of the system was critical. Bellingham installed 16 custom built aluminum gangways for individual homeowner access, electric, fire and potable water systems, as well as a 625′ sidetie for larger vessels.

Fresh Alaskan sockeye salmon, barbequed by the Bellingham Marine management staff, highlighted the grand opening activities on Saturday, April 17, 2002. Over 100 guests and residents of Tennis Estates turned out for this gala event.

Bellingham Marine designs, manufactures and installs Unifloat® floating dock systems, Unideck® fresh water dock systems and Unistack® dry storage buildings for marinas and boat service facilities worldwide.
