- Located just south of Long Beach and north of Huntington Beach, Seal Beach is a quaint seaside community of charming shops, historic homes and great surf.
At just 13.2 square miles, it's one of the smallest beachfront communities in Southern California.
Start your visit at Main Street and Ocean Avenue, which is the center of action in Seal Beach. Set up a spot on the sand, take your kids to the play park or go surfing. The beach's annual Kite Festival takes place in September.
Seal Beach is home to the second longest wooden pier in California. Built in 1906, Seal Beach Pier stretches 1,835 feet. Say hello to Slick the Seal, then stroll to the end of the pier for sweeping views of Long Beach, the Queen Mary and the Seal Beach shoreline. That big white hangar you see in the distance was once home to Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose. Be sure to bring a jacket, as it can get cold out on the pier - even on a sunny day.
After enjoying the morning on the beach, take a break for lunch with a stroll along historic Main Street, which is dotted with cute boutiques and some of the best restaurants in Seal Beach. Walt's Wharf is a great place for fresh seafood and clam chowder, and The Hangout is popular for brunch. For dinner, don't miss Mahe restaurant, located in the historic Airport Club building on PCH. The food is incredible!
Electric Avenue, which intersects Main Street, once serviced the 40-mile Pacific Electric Railway line from Los Angeles to Balboa Peninsula. The Seal Beach Red Car Museum is housed in a Pacific Electric Tower Car dating back to 1925. Open from noon to 3 on the second and fourth Saturday of the month, the museum offers a glimpse at historic photos, signs and memorabilia from the Red Car line.
The Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station is home to the West Coast's World War II Submarine Memorial. It's located on Seal Beach Boulevard and is open to the public.
If you're looking to avoid the crowds and enjoy a day on the beach, Seal Beach is a great destination. Have fun!!!

Had the pleasure of living on Ocean av. in 3 different apartments from 77 thru 87. Some of the best years of my life. Consolation prize when having to move out was being able to continue to work in the city until May 1 2015 when after 37 years finally retiring from the Seal Beach Postal Service....love the city and will always consider it my home and glad the city fathers continue to keep the small town charm a high priority.
Anyone who has gotten to live there is very fortunate.
Me too! We like to go here when Newport/Huntington are crowded and we just want to hang out at the beach.
Thank You!!! I love your recent beach videos
Great video Veronica!
Must go next year when I come to California many thanks for uploading.
Ooh. That looks a nice beach to visit ..
Thank you
Glad you had fun!
No way! After my family and I rode through there yesterday on rented electric bicycles I started laughing and giggling to myself enough they ask WTF. I told them this place is Mayberry or leave it to FN beaver 🦫 This place is so quaint clean awesome iconic I cannot speak positive enough about it. Make sure you figure out how to ride further south. It will be so rewarding
I agree. Such a cute little town!
Ironically, I just went to Seal Beach on July 29th. Had a great time!
My kind of place :) Main St all the way to Pier!
You're welcome! I think you'd enjoy it. It's a very cute little beach town. :)
One of my favorite places :)
Very cool!!
Thanks! More beach videos - and other surprises - on the way. :)
Very Nice overview.
Yes, between Huntington and Long Beach. Get off the 405 freeway at Seal Beach Blvd. :)
Thanks!
I've been here a lot of time sometimes
Something the video doe not reference is how close you are to LB proper (5 minute drive, if that) and Naples. Also, Los Al is just a few minutes away up Seal Beach Blvd. You are close to freeways and PCH without realizing it since the town seems to be tucked away from the larger towns and cities around it. For example Huntington cannot be but 10 minutes away. Likewise, Lakewood & Cerritos. So its great location with little of the issue you encounter in central LB.
This is my fav beach in LA
Because it's not LA (It's Orange County)...:)
Thanks! I'll check out your channel as well. :)
You must be talking about the shot of the shoreline from the Seal Beach pier...
