Surfside Colony Turns Fifteen Amid Privacy and Beach Quiet
Surfside Colony marks 15 years of private beachfront living near Seal Beach. Manager Stuart Briggs notes its unique private status, limited public access, and own post office. About 150 houses house roughly 525 residents, with many owner occupied. The Navy later acquired adjacent land, lifeguard service began this year, and local law enforcement is handled by Seal Beach.
