“Lifeguards depend on mutual aid,” Newport Beach Lifeguard Battalion Chief Rob Williams said. “This is just to coordinate our efforts.”Mutual aid is the practice of agencies from different jurisdictions working together and pooling resources during an emergency. 

Lifeguards from Newport, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Seal Beach and San Clemente participated in the exercise, along with the Orange County Shreiff’s Department and the U.S. Coast Guard, according to a news release.”So far it’s been good,” said Marine Safety Lt. Chris Pierce of Seal Beach. “We’ll pick up a couple of things to implement at our beach.”

Spring has sprung at the Seal Beach Farmers’ Market. Catering to the neighboring Leisure World community, the Seal Beach Farmers’ Market has a unique leisurely feel. Unlike most markets where the 8 a.m. shopper gets the choice pick of fruits and vegetables, 10 a.m. is the optimal time to shop at the Seal Beach market, which features fresh eggs, seasonal fruits and vegetables such as potatoes and apples, fresh baked pastries, honey, nuts and coffee beans. One of the smallest farmers’ markets in Southern California, the Seal Beach Farmers’ Market is characterized by personable vendors and friendly regulars. The Seal Beach Farmer’s Market is today in the parking lot in front of the Roger Dunn Golf Shops at 13958 Seal Beach Boulevard.

It is quiet, perhaps too quiet for visitors seeking a glamorous experience. Most of the beach-goers here are locals. It attracts a young set, those kids who can’t yet drive but can take the bus or bike. It also gets some young pier rats, those kids who hang around under the pier and get into mischief. The north half of the beach is traditionally a family area. Parking is handy, the walk is short and Mom can keep close watch. This is a good spot for beginning surfers. North beach also is called the Gold Coast, named for the row of high-value residences that sit atop a bluff along Ocean Avenue. South of the pier base is a cute tot lot with block wall around it to corral the kids. Notice the town’s little mascot that sits beside the pier entrance walk, a seal statue named Slick. Old-timers say they used to see seals on the beach here

Children pat the sculpture, Slick, the seal, and parents take pictures of their family next to him. Seals don’t frequent this area anymore but the statue offers one reminder of how Seal Beach got its name.

The quaint pier with its wooden planks, fishing popularity and Ruby’s diner on the very end are so much milder than the early Seal Beach days when sizzling rides and bootleggers dragged their booty to shore (rum runners bringing liquor during the prohibition).  Today the pier is a slow going family-friendly entity where people just like to take leisurely strolls. The wind is usually mild, the weather often nice and the views are great.

The pier features a lifeguard tower and the restaurant. There are benches to sit on and relax or you can stroll and soak up the sun and scenery. Located at the end of Main Street, the pier is the icon for Seal Beach. There’s so much shopping and dining to enjoy, but none along the beach. Ruby’s on the pier and the shops downtown on the tree-shaded Main are your best bet for food and snacks.

To enjoy the pier, you’ll find it on Ocean, adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway 1, three blocks away.
