About this place

Added by Nick Garcia

Seal Beach is a quiet little hidden gem right in the middle of the more touristy beaches in Southern California. White sandy beaches, great shops and restaurants, and away from the crowds, this is a great place to spend a hot summer day.

Seal Beach is a small beach community between Long Beach and Huntington Beach. Right off PCH (Pacific Coast Highway), this sandy beach is a great place to chill on a hot summer day. The high winds coming off the water makes it an ideal place to kite board, surf, or simply fly a kite along the shoreline. On a clear day, you can see Catalina Island along the horizon. One of the best aspects of Seal Beach is that it still  under the radar to tourists. 

There are multiple parking lots/garages along 8th and 10th streets for a minimal fee. You can also find free street parking along Ocean Way, just make sure you read the parking signs as there are various times of day that parking is permitted.

Don't miss arguably the best breakfast burrito you've ever had from Nick's Deli on Main Street.
