The Seal Beach pier is actually the second-longest wooden pier in the state. Originally constructed in the early 1900’s, it had to be rebuilt in the 80’s after being damaged by a storm, and continues to be an iconic spot to fish, get a selfie with “Slick”, a bronze statue at the entrance to the pier, or spend an afternoon with your family. The pier also includes a small fenced playground facing the ocean with swings and a play structure.
Nearby neighborhoods to Seal Beach CA 90740 include Surfside, Sunset Beach, Rossmoor, and Bixby Village in Long Beach.
