About Seal Beach

Seal Beach is a quaint seaside community on the northern most border of Orange County. Located at the mouth of Alamitos Bay, it provides access for boats and yachts entering the Pacific Ocean from Huntington Harbor. With a population of 24,098, Seal Beach celebrated its 90th anniversary in October 2005.

Though Long Beach, California's fifth largest city with the busiest port in the nation looms next door, Old Town Seal Beach features shady, tree-lined Main Street, a beautiful beach and pier reminiscent of small town America during the mid 1900's. Stroll along several city blocks of Main Street beginning at the pier to enjoy restaurants, gift shops, foreign films, surf, kite and bicycle shops and a tea room.

An art faire, a sandcastle contest/fund raiser and 4th of July celebrations are a few annual events of special interest. The City’s beautiful beaches and pleasant weather attracts more than 2,000,000 visitors each year making recreation an important factor in the local economy in this otherwise residential community. To accommodate visitors Seal Beach maintains a municipal pier, a beach park and a skate park.
