Seal Beach, CA

Travel Guide

Long exposure panorama of waves and pier at seal Beach, Orange County, California, USA
Such a great panoramic view of Seal Beach from the pier at sunset. Can you believe this was in December, just before Christmas? #Nature #LifeAtExpedia
Even the birds take a minute to enjoy the blissful sunsets off the coast of Southern California. This picture was taken just a short walk down the beach from the Seal Beach Pier, in California. #Nature #LifeAtExpedia
Even during in December, sunsets on the beach are beautiful. The beach communities in Southern California decorate the boardwalks with wreaths and lights, but it definitely doesn't look like winter here. #LifeAtExpedia #Nature
Besides the wreaths and garland on the light poles, you would never imagine this is the week before Christmas. This is a good view of Seal Beach near the pier. #LifeAtExpedia #Nature

When visiting Seal Beach you need to eat at Taco Surf on Main Street and have a bowl of Scorpion Chowder. It is Delish!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Residents of the town tend to be 50+ in age or families with kids and not much in between so this is NOT a party town. Very mellow town which is exactly what I wanted since I live in San Diego.
