There's two path, one for cyclists, skaters while one for walkers. It's pretty wide so plenty of room. The path takes you along the waterfront, while it's great for checking out the homes along the hill. Beach, it's a pretty big stretch of sand with plenty of space for everyone. There's also a bar restaurant towards the end of the path which is great for a meal and cocktails. Loads of lifeguards stations along the path. There's the main area where the tower is with the parking lot right next to beach. It's a smaller stretch of beach but grassy area and parking is available. I'm not sure how long the path is but it's worth the stroll along the beach.

There were neighboring playgrounds in different lots and food trucks lined against the beach for your kids every ice cream, fruit, and dessert needs. Parking is a little tough, but we managed to find one quickly for the weekend traffic. The water wasn't too daunting and my kids loved it .

In addition, this beach is a GREAT SPOT to play beach volleyball given its massive space and soft sand with exquisite high rise building as backdrop view. However, the one thing I didn't like was the sand was too shallow compared to most beaches. Also, the is Gaucho cafe restaurant just steps away from the beach. And few fruit cart vendors for those who prefer something for the commoners. Public parking and playground are available. Metered parking is available in the lot behind the beach, or at nearby Marina Green Park. Public outdoor shower stall is available. Overall, this is a good beach to spend the day with friend and family and your lover.

Seal Beach Pier has endured through the years and remains a favorite spot for both locals and…read morevisitors, offering stunning views of the ocean, surfers, Long Beach, and the Queen Mary in the distance, along with pleasant, casual walks. Sunrise and sunset walks here are amazing, too. Plenty of places to grab some food and drinks along Main Street. Located in a charming area of Seal Beach, you'll find clean beaches and a Main St filled with shops, restaurants, and more to explore. A great location for walking, jogging, or fishing. Next to the pier, there is a playground for kids and street music on occasion. A few seasonal events will happen around the pier as well. I go out fishing here once in a while. You can fish for a variety of species, including mackerel, halibut, croakers, sea bass, thresher sharks, leopard sharks, and more! Every year, there's a family fishing day with raffles, a strong sense of community, and fun. Fishing is free on the pier. No license required, but you do have to follow the regulations and limits for the species you catch. Some fish species aren't good for eating. There are signs indicating what types of fish are in the area and guidelines on consumption. There used to be a Ruby's restaurant at the end of the Pier, but it burned down. After the repairs and reopening in May 2019, the area was left clear, which is still nice for visitors to spread out and enjoy the atmosphere. There are two paid parking lots available on either side of the pier. Payment is through the self-serve kiosk or the Passport parking app and is charged by the hour. There is some free street parking, but it's tougher to snag, especially on weekends. And some areas have a time limit.

There is 2-3 hour street parking on the Main Street and untimed parking in the residential area. Be sure to look for parking signs to prevent getting a ticket. The ladies said they patrol regularly for parking violations. Parking is also available below the grass area, closer to the sand. This is a pay parking area. The pier is great for fishing. Although I didn't get to walk the pier this time around because of time constraints. I got a few shots at sunset. I would love to return to the area to walk the pier and then check out the shopping, bars and restaurants. Then take a walk on the beach at sunset! You can find military ships docked at the nearby Naval station. This place is worth checking out if you're in the area, just the pier alone will make it worth your time, once you find parking!

Historic dates to significant events are scattered around and displayed on benches. Most people come here for the fishing. The action is up and down, but when the mackerels and bonito are active, this pier gets packed with people trying to get a share. Most days of the year, it's a relaxing spot to fish for a variety of species. There is also no need for a fishing license when fishing on public piers. The cleanliness of the pier has been okay lately. Sometimes there's an unpleasant odor, trash on the ground, old bait, and other debris on the railing. An overall renovation is highly needed. This pier is also shorter than the piers in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, but it is still a good place to walk and relax. The restaurant at the end of the pier, Buoy's on the Pier, has been closed for years. However, there is a small snack shop at the pier entrance. There are a few bathrooms available on the pier, along with a couple of sinks. A paid parking lot is available and open 1 hour before sunrise, closing at midnight. The lot is relatively clean and well-lit. Payments through self-serve kiosks or the Passport parking mobile app, with hourly charge rates. Vehicles with disabled placards are exempt from fees.

The Dominguez Gap Wetlands Project provides a 2 mile loop trail around the east basin wetlands,…read morewhich is located adjacent to the LA River. Access to this trail can be easily found by entering the parking lot of David Molina Park. This location provides a bike trail that continues along the LA River and a walking trail that is also a shared equestrian trail. The first mile of the trail before it loops is a dirt trail removed from the waterline by shrubbery and a fence. Lots of dog poop along the initial part of the trail and not the most pleasant scenery. I did notice that the doggie bag dispenser was empty and broken and that there are no trashcans along this trail. Once you reach the loop, there are a couple of benches, but unfortunately everything located at this spot was graffitied. The 2nd mile back takes you along the waterline where we saw ducks and turtles and large homeless encampments throughout the wetlands. The second half definitely provided more scenery. This walking trail could be a really great spot if the City would give it some love. Overall, the walking trail itself is clean. However, it was sad to see all the the trash along the waterline and graffiti on the signage, rocks, and benches. It was definitely an interesting walk and I'm glad we discovered something we never knew existed. I'm sure springtime will bring more to see. I'm just not sure if I'll be back. I personally wouldn't walk this trail alone.

Now I'm just assuming that was because there was an event taking place at the facility immediately across the street and perhaps they didn't want anyone from that event parking at the field but I'm not certain. If they open the gates for convenient, safe, free parking, this is a solid 4 stars for what it is.
