What it's like
Main Street runs from Pacific Coast Highway to the Seal Beach Pier, the second-longest wooden pier in California. Shops, cafes and restaurants line the way, the Bay Theatre reopened in 2025, and the city's Classic Car Show, Lions Club Fish Fry and Christmas Parade all happen here.
Homes
Small lots and a mix of beach cottages, newer two- and three-story homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings. Parking, coastal permits and remodel rules matter a lot here, so check them with the city before you plan any changes.
What to check before buying
- Flood zone and insurance cost near the beach.
- Parking: garage, alley access and permit rules on the block.
- Whether any second unit is permitted.
- How the block feels on a busy summer weekend.
