If you are looking for a nearby beach to visit with a nice view of the ocean and refreshing breeze, this is the place to go. Parking was plenty at night and you could walk down the beach to enjoy the sand in between your toes. It was rather dark since it was night time but the beach felt rather clean.There is also a playground for kids on the opposite side of the pier and a pier you can walk down (Seal Beach Pier)! Plenty of things to do with a lively beach front of small shops and eateries. Be sure to avoid prime times if you want to avoid the crowds and reduce your potential covid exposure. Be safe everyone! Wear a mask

Great place to hang out and enjoy the beach and scenery. Nice ocean breeze on sunny summer days. Plenty of thing to do at the beach.

Park nose in at lot or get fined $$.Been using this lot for years. When I arrive, my priority is to pay the parking fee appropriate for the amount of time I spend at Seal Beach. Once paid I should be good, right?In August of 2020 I was fined for parking with the nose of my car out. Whatha?? Upon review, changes are made in 2019. As a non resident, how am I to know?? There are signs, I see after the fact. But from my position parked that day, signs were posted to the right towards the pier and behind me above at about 6 feet or higher.I parked, paid at kiosk, & went left to the beach. I am 51. I didnt feel like I had to do a 360 up & down or left to right just to update myself on a violations. I didnt think parking nose out was a violation?? I understand the city may have reason for this citation but the city gets a big fat BOO for tiny signage.

This is a nice very small park up at the top of the seal Beach Pier at the end of main Street where it meets ocean avenue or maybe its ocean boulevard. Not sure! Good place for a little dog walk. There are some nice benches to sit on, some in the sun and some in the shade. there are no toys or play equipment here its just basically a green space with benches and trees and a lovely view of the ocean.

Great place to see the sunset! A walk to the park to see the day end followed by dinner at one of the nearby restaurants. Very dog friendly park except for the pier. Local PD stationed at the pier so don’t even think about walking on the pier with your dog. Also a great place to watch Long Beach fireworks in July without getting to close to the noise.

Great place by the water. Pier extends well into the ocean and makes a nice stroll. Cafes and everything nearby. Take a visit.

Great park to hang out with friends and family, lots of local restaurants, amazing view, and right by the beach.

Beautiful place to enjoy with family & dog. Lots to see, lots of easy hiking trails for the little. Highly recommended.

Good beach but you have to Ware your own place and viue ee to get it done and drop off my car and drop it did I didnt get

Husband and I love taking a lunch and just sitting and looking at the ocean

Right at the foot of the popular Seal Beach Pier. Great place to meet other dog owners whom frequent this spot daily. You can stroll down the picturesque and quaint Main Street that the New York Times names as Southern Californias hidden gem of beach towns. Though many original bungalow cottage homes have morphed into million dollar custom beach houses, Main Street has retained its charm for more than a half century. World travelers have begun to discover Seal Beach. You should too. ~Bob

Nice parks and lots of parking (free and a lot with fees). Main Street has lots of restaurants and other shops. Public restrooms and outdoor showers makes it possible to spend a lot of time at the beach.

Great place to come watch the sun set. There are lots of great restaurants to walk to for dinner just across the street. And of course the Seal Beach Pier is right there, perfect for a sunset stroll. But there arent many benches in the park. If you like to sit down, bring your own beach chairs, especially on weekends.

Im young, healthy, pretty, & retired.. Everyone getz a 5☆

Loved every second with my sweetheart and got a little fishing in too boot!!!

A nice enclosure was able to enjoy the sun. But I was surprised that there were so many people on the beach because of the pandemic. In fact, I thought all this was going to b closed?

Love Seal Bch... Great people & somstimes fun waves... Great food... Great people...

Great Park area to relax and chill and view Pacific Ocean too.

Its a park, fun little place.

Loved it. People are starting to get out again. Trying to have a vacation.

Nice view of the ocean, ships and pier

The place is really great! But, the bathrooms are not clean! They dont even have tissue papers or seat covers.

I loved it! The scenery & the ambience is just breath taking...

Perfect place to bring a chair and. Book for some Vitamin D.

Very nice beach.

Great little park at the beach! Little small but its literally at the beach which makes it awesome!!

Great place to sit and enjoy the beautiful beach view

This place has live guitarist playing on its grassy knoll some evenings!

Was awesome to hit the beach today

A beautiful clean and crowded beach. Live music. Bogarts Cafe across from the police station, is traveler friendly and has an amazing group of Musicians that play there every Sunday evening. Im sure they would be gracious enough to include you as they included me. Growing musicians should visit.

A place to stay cool in this heat

This is the best place to go to enjoy the lovely sunsets in Seal Beach next to the pier.

Very beautiful the beach was amazing

Nice park with grass, trees, views of Main St, the beach and pier. Weekly Friday movie nights during September. Very family friendly.

Super place ! To see a sunset

Not too crowded small and cute little place. Always like to go again

Beautiful remembrance to a great man.

Parking rare, or pay for beach parking with an app

Pier fishing. Some kids love to start trouble. Even if you try to avoid, seems like theyre looking for it. Police dont penalize juveniles. Say theyre just youngins.

Nice weather but hardly any where to sit and the few benches they do have are covered in chum and bird poo. Looks like they havent ever been clean.. nobody was sitting on them.

The beach is very family friendly and not as crowded. Very calm beach and great to swim at.

Fun. Beautiful. Safe.

Nice, clean and local.

Always love walking around this pier. Plus they just opened up the end of the pier and its very nice to feel the open air.

Beautiful Quiet place to go early in the morning and drink while looking at the ocean!

Came on a weekend. Parking was very scarce. Beach and Commons were clean. Good alternative to Huntington or Newport Beaches if you dont want to put up with the crowds.

Who doesnt love a very nice pier on the ocean.

Love to sit under the big shady tree and look at the ocean with my lunch and family

Best park/ Beach I been to so. Far so clean great experience

Cool place to take the kids to go fishing and play at the beach

Sunset on a great day 11/8

Quaint and clean park.

Always a great stroll

Loved it very clean

Visited the craft fair. A little tight in the wallkways but well attended with a wide variety of items for sale.

Extremely peaceful and beautiful. Absolutely loved the pier. Its a great place for sightseeing especially with the carrier ships going by. Didnt get to do a whole lot and there doesnt seem to be awhole lot as far as entertainment on the beach itself but the area around it has a lot of local restaurants and shops. Id definitely go again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about Seal Beach!!! Its the prefect vacation spot! Love it here and I come often!

I have never been to the ocean before, and although I got sunburned swimming in the beach was the most fun I have had in a long time.

Nice beach - Small little park not much parking

Its a beautiful beachfront park ready for family picnics, summer concerts, car show events, art festivals and tanning.

Quaint lil park, but not enough benches.

It was windy as we walked the beach. There were a ton of people there, but there is no way for it to feel crowded. We watched parasailers and looked at the sea gulls. It was a beautiful time for a stroll. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Great stop for lunch or the day, Taco Surf for tacos or Charo Chicken for fast and greatTook my kids here forever - easy going without attitude

Beautiful park.

The Seal Beach pier has finally reopened after three longs years of repairs. Great job!

Most peaceful and calm place to visit. My most favorite place.

Nice breeze beautiful views good eats in town and drinks

It is small but part of Seal Beach Pier. City keeps annual events like outdoor movie, food truck etc check website for more details. Seal Beach Pier is my go-to place whenever I am feeling down or just need some alone time.

Nice area with great view of the beach and ocean. Plenty of restaurants that offer a wide variety of food (burgers to seafood). Cool breeze blows inland in the afternoon. Finding parking can be a problem unless you get there early in the day.

Beautiful day. View of ocean and beach

Seal Beach moves at a different pace. Nice park with views of the pier.

A lovely spot by the sea. Check out the monthly astronomy nights!

♡

Always a nice park to visit. Bring a jacket usually chilly near the ocean.

Seal Beach is a small in quaint city. Main Street is great w/,its breakfast restaurants. Love it!

Nice place to watch a move.

Theres a nice little area for kids..

This play playground is nice for the kids to play in. Its in a very good neighborhood on the beach next to the Seal Beach pier and water.

Great evening walk with the family.

Im reviewing mainly the kids park off to the left (Southside) of the pier.Small playground right up on the sand. Has a couple of slides/jungle gym and separate swing set. Their is a wall surrounding with 2 gates to help keep your kids from wandering. Several benches to sit.Pleasant place to come while waiting for your reservation at the great restaurant on Seals main Street.

Love the waves and watching the waves.

The ocean view. Close to shopping.

Cute little park

Beautiful place to sit and watch the sunsets!

Nice views, quiet

The beautiful sunset

We were visiting from out of state, came to seal beach to get a break away from Disneyland for a few hours. Came to eat and shop and enjoy the beach. I parked in what I thought was a friendly free beach parking lot. I did not see any signs or anything. I should have known better! Nothing is free in California. After spending $100 on lunch and time with family We came back to the car and had a citation for $50 on the car. Ruined my day! I will never come back to seal beach. The one memory I will remember from this try trip is the damn ticket I got from seal beach. It’s not like I didn’t already spend a fortune to bring the fam to Disney why not add on an extra $50. Bitter taste!

This park was great. It was large and had a lot of open space. There were monuments and, the flag & an awesome fossil art piece as well!

Parks are a good thing. Keep them clean. Tell your local politicians and builders to add more of them. Sit. Rest. Take a moment from SoCal busy lifestyle...

Small but not crowded. It is a place locals come to relax and get away from all the hectics and craziness we tolerate daily.Parkings here can be an issue but not during off hours.

Beautiful place to walk in the evening

Small town great times.

Nice chill beach.

A relaxing coffee venue while listening to live music. What a great town!

Lions club Fish Fry was delish and the music wad great. Lovely locatio

Ok so my daughter had to go out there to do an art project. Had no idea where this place was but we found it pretty easy. Loved the area has a lil playground area for kids. The pier runs in that area. And then you got sand and beach nice spot.

Nice place to walk and play...

Nice

Nice little hidden park. Very quiet when construction isnt going on. Poke stop and Gym here too.

The view, Fish Fry, The Clock, Craft Fair, your brick, good food and drink near by, what more could you want?
