Seal Beach has served as a seaside resort in coastal Orange County since the early 20th century. The city fronts the Pacific Ocean, while the mouth of the San Gabriel River marks its eastern edge and separates it from the Long Beach area. Seal Beach Pier extends 1,865 feet over the water and is among California’s longest wooden piers; the first pier on this site was built in 1906. Main Street runs directly to the shore, concentrating cafés, local shops and the town’s compact traditional commercial core. The nearby Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, a major U.S. Navy facility, reflects the strategic role of this stretch of Southern California coast.
