The
roaring 20’s were really roaring in Seal Beach, California. Their
gambling, booze, and beaches acted as a magnet attracting tourists to
this little ocean-side village. The famous Joy Zone was set along the
pier with the Jewel City Cafe, Derby roller coaster, beaches, and other
diversions. At the end of the pier (where Ruby’s Restaurant is now), a
large synthesizer presented a blazing, flashing light show to set the
mood. Sophie Tucker and other celebrities acted as judges at the Big
Band dance contests. Tourists rented as many as 1,000 bathing suits a
day, and 190,000 people visited Seal Beach each week. What was the
reason for Seal Beaches’ popularity? It was the only place where liquor
could be served. During these early years, seals or sea lions
frequented the people’s yards, beaches, and ocean. Sometimes they even
got in the way of bathers.
Changing
throughout the years, today Seal Beach is a contrast to its past! We
feel soft breezes from the ocean, walk along the quaint, historic old
town Main Street, see the beautiful shoreline from the second longest
pier in California, and enjoy a laid back, small town atmosphere.
