Seal Beach, California Travel Guide


Seal Beach

Seal Beach is named for the seals that once were abundant near the beach and on the bay that the city enjoys as the northernmost beach city in Orange County. Seal Beach no longer has those cute creatures and they don't seem to come back, even after city efforts to attract them. However, the seal is not forgotten and you'll notice it commemorated in little touches around town. Street signs, trash cans and even a bronze seal, Slick, that sits on the Seal Beach Pier, all are reminders of the heritage and city namesake.

Seal Beach is close to Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific and approx. 35 minutes from Disneyland theme parks. Did you know? Seal Beach offers the finest sandcastle sand in the US. Main Street with an old-fashioned, wooden pier, pubs and restaurants creates a familly-friendly atmosphere ideal for Southern California vacations.


With several dining opportunities right on the sand, you can eat at River's Edge Cafe or Ruby's on the Pier. Down by the River's Edge indoor / outdoor restaurant you'll discover a very nice kitesurf launch port created for local sports enthusiasts. There's really only one hotel remaining in downtown Seal Beach area. Pacific Inn is located a few blocks from the beach and within walking distance to the downtown shops and restaurants. It also is an easy walk over to Alamitos Landing where a catamaran, part of the Long Beach transportation fleet, takes tourists across the bay to the Aquarium and downtown Long Beach. It does charge a small fee. There also is a bright red Passport bus that drives to downtown Long Beach and the convention center.
