Local moves

·

Seal Beach is one of the few OC beach towns with genuinely free parking - just arrive before 10 AM on weekends.

·

The 2-hour limit on the Lot 1 is enforced - move your car or park on Electric Ave for an all-day stay.

·

Beachwood BBQ on Main St validates parking for diners - ask when you order.

·

Weekday parking is rarely an issue - the crowds are nothing like Huntington or Newport Beach.
