Stay Safe

Huntington has a moderate crime level, so general street smarts are advised. Dance club shootings are not uncommon, so avoid confrontations in those places. Harris Riverfront Park and Rotary Park should be avoided at night, unless you're with a large group.

Many homeless people can be found in Huntington and will often beg or panhandle. A common scam is a man asking for money for gas, with his family stuck at the station. Simply say no, even if they're persistent and they'll eventually leave you alone. Incidents of homeless people becoming aggressive or robbing people are rare.
