Some cottages are older, some newer -- and  all add to the colorful small beach town atmosphere of Seal Beach.

Much of the Seal Beach old town neighborhood looks like a Southern California beach community straight out of the 1950s and 1960s.   You can almost hear the Beach Boys singing!  Between PCH and the beach are picturesque cottages on small lots, a short main street ending at the pier, colorful shops selling bikinis and surfboards and fish tacos.

An al fresco breakfast is an everyday event for locals and surfers in Old Town Seal Beach.  And you can be certain that this restaurant serves fish tacos.

There are some low-rise condos and townhomes on the outskirts of the Old Town area.  And across PCH to the east are neighborhoods of homes built in the 1950s and 1960s -- many of which have been expanded and upgraded into large contemporary homes. 

In addition to cottages and duplexes, there are spectacular million-dollar beachfront homes in  Seal Beach facing the ocean.
