This property is a
little too much B & B for the Beyond MudHole
classification, but has a great location in one of the
remaining beachfront hometowns of America.
Seal Beach is
a small, walkable community (I mean that portion between the
ocean and Pacific Coast Highway). There is a movie
theater, parks, many restaurants and bars.
The Bay Theatre boasts being
"Home of the Mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ!" (The original
Paramount Theatre Organ -- the largest one in any operating
theatre today, says their website).
