    Seaside breeze brings me alive --basking in simple pleasures #LOVEYOUBYE #SunKissedBreezes
    Dominique D.

    Seal beach pier is a wonderful place to enjoy some sun and sun kissed breezes. I'm drawn to the vastness of the ocean and nine times out of ten when I close my eyes the ocean is what I see. It's definitely one spot you can feel the heartbeat of the city. You'll often catch the whole community it seems like running to the end of the pier and back in the mornings. It is clean and I usually find parking on the street on the same side as the beach. If you ever get a chance to visit, don't miss the chance. "Be training for what you want in life"

    This is one of my favorite spots. The views are incredible, and the atmosphere is so inviting. Parking is generally easy to find, and there's nothing better than a walk along the beach while taking in a beautiful sunset.

    Looks deserted, but we did pass people.

    Today was a beautiful day for a walk on the pier. It is Saturday and there were a lot of people that were fishing. I don't know what they called, but they seem to be having fun trying. It appears that they may have had some kind of a fishing contest before we came. People put up a tent and we're singing classic rock songs at the entrance to the pier the music was very nice.

    I really love Seal Beach. It's a gorgeous beach without the gigantic crowds of some of the other beaches. I usually go in the morning when the surfers first start showing up and the man is driving the sifting tractor. Most of the times that I'm there the surf school Van is there to meet students. This time of year there aren't too many people fishing off the pier like there are in the summer. The Pier is decorated for Christmas with pine Garland wrapping all of the light posts. It looks very pretty. I love that groups of people gather on the benches to just chit chat, and they all seem to be neighborhood people who know each other. There are lots of people jogging and walking dogs. Main Street at Seal Beach is so cute with lots of little local restaurants and shops along the tree lined street. I love the Irish pub on main Street, and Bogart's coffee house on Ocean Avenue.

    This is a nice pier located at the end of Main Street. You can come here and relax. I like to check out what the fishermen are catching. Today there were very few people fishing. It' much more chill here than some of the other piers. If you are in the area of Old Town check out the pier.

    Local fave pier at the end of Main Street with fire dept & kid's place ground. During summer time, movie at the park on the beach. Small community with great neighborhood and great Main Street that has everything you could ask for - they do have a library and teatime in the cottage too. Great place to seat and enjoys life or the little thing in life. Love it here.

    Walked along the pathway by the beach today. A lot less crowded than the pier and Main Street. We live in Huntington Beach but it's way too touristy so we like to come to Seal Beach. There are some great restaurants on Main and we rotate between breakfast, lunch and dinner, and then always a walk afterwards. The pier is fantastic. Always a beautiful walk and you can check out what kind of fish everyone has caught that day. FYI, no bathrooms at the end of the pier so make sure you make a stop under the pier to be safe. :) I mean there's bathrooms under the pier, not go to the bathroom under the pier. That would be frowned upon. Besides the pier, there's also a lovely walk to the left along the beach. Check out the really nice homes and rentals on one side and the beach and ocean on the other. About a mile round trip down to where the path ends and back. Gorgeous day today, not too hot, with a nice breeze.

    Absolutely lovely beach to spend time. Despite its central location to OC & LA counties, this beach and pier were very serene on a weekend. Plentiful lot and street parking. Not too crowded, with plenty of space to walk and take photos. The beach itself was clean as well. Definitely recommended for a relaxing time.

    The pier.

    Wonderful experience! Great view and friendly people. Good restaurants, shops and bars along Main Street.

    This is a fabulous place to walk and experience sunset. There are several people walking the pier so it's not the most romantic but definitely it's popular. There are people taking pics, fishing , and some even dancing and performing. We walked along the pier and beach and felt safe and relaxed .

    Marine layer morning (don't fret, it'll burn off shortly)!

    This place is like a time capsule. A place to reflect, restore and renew. A place to pause, to let your eyes naturally seek the horizon as the Pacific waves crash below your vantage point. This is the stuff dreams are made of...

    It's a pier!
    Terry M.

    Same as before. Chill vibes, not overly crowded, a place to enjoy the waves and be one with nature.

    Ask the Community - Seal Beach Pier

    Now with everything starting to reopen (as of 05/15/21), does anyone know if the pier is open for night fishing again from 10pm to 6am?

    I was there last week, and the sign stated that fishing was still only until 10pm. I'm not positive, but I'm guessing it's still that way.

    Is the pier open for night fishing; for example between 10pm to 6am?

    Carman not sure, due to the Pandemic. I would look online or call. It's always changing.

    Is the seal beach pier open for fishing?

    Not sure, Due to the Virus. It changes so much. I would call or check on line.

    Is the pier open for fishing?

    Right now no! Do to the Virus.I would check with them next couple of weeks.

    Where are the seals?

    I've actually seen some on weekdays when nobody is around. Some will swim around the surfers.

    Are dogs allowed?

    There's a sign that says no dogs allowed on the pier but that doesn't seem to stop anybody. I guess do it at your own risk.

    Pier hours? Is overnight fishing allowed?

    No. Pier closes at 10pm.

    How much for parking?

    $2 per hour. Free if you have handicap placard.

    Do they allow fishing there? Does it close at night?

    Yes, they allow fishing. The pier closes at 10 PM.

    Lost my GoPro hero 5 session a few days ago with a head strap. Has anyone came across one so far? =(

    Try checking with the local police or lifeguard stations at the pier to see if someone might have turned it in. Best of luck!

    Can you fish here?

    Yes you can. There are many people who fish here daily and because it's a public pier, no fishing license is required. The pier has benches as well as fish cleaning stations.

Naples Island is such a hidden gem in Long Beach! It used to be a swamp before developers transformed it into a charming Italian-style neighborhood -- all the streets even have Italian names. It kind of reminds me of Venice Beach, but quieter and much more upscale. The canals are lined with beautiful waterfront homes, and boats are literally parked right in front of them. During summer, you can hop on a gondola or go kayaking or paddleboarding on the canals. And in winter, this place turns magical, residents go all out with Christmas lights, and there are festive boat parades gliding through the water. (Though Newport Beach usually gets more attention, Naples definitely holds its own!) It's such a peaceful spot for a stroll, and not many tourists know about it. It's perfect if you're looking for something a little off the beaten path.

The path is along the back of some homes so be respectful as it's someone's property and leave it the way you saw it, clean. There's benches places along the way to have a seat and just take it in.
