About Surfside Colony
Surfside Colony is a small gated community on the sand at the south end of Seal Beach, between Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach and Sunset Beach. It began in 1929 as an oceanside resort colony and is now part of the city of Seal Beach, with its own ZIP code, 90743.
Housing Stock
About 256 homes sit in three rows lettered A, B and C. The A row is directly on the sand and sets the top of the market, the B row sits behind it, and the C row runs along Coast Highway with views back toward Huntington Harbour. Many homes have been rebuilt or expanded over the years.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Life centers on the private beach. Huntington Harbour, Sunset Beach and Seal Beach's Main Street are all a short drive, and the colony is in the Los Alamitos Unified School District. The beach has lost sand since the 1950s, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers periodically rebuilds it with dredged sand.
Neighborhoods & Enclaves
A Row
Homes directly on the sand, the top of the market.
B Row
The middle row, steps from the beach.
C Row
Homes along Coast Highway with harbor and mountain views.
What Sets the Market Apart
- Which row a home is on is the single biggest factor in its price.
- Beach erosion and sand replenishment are part of life here, so review the colony's history and any coastal permits.
- Some listings give the city as Surfside rather than Seal Beach; both describe the same colony.
