SeaLegs At The Beach
SeaLegs at the Beach is the only beachfront concert venue in Huntington Beach—and in Southern California. Welcoming celebrity acts like Snoop Dogg and local favorites like Tijuana Dogs to its stage, SeaLegs’ impressive lineup also features weekly Reggae Sundays and rockin’ beach parties. It also rocks for other reasons, like its gourmet beach bites and bar, fire pits hugged by Adirondack chairs, and picnic tables in the sand. SeaLegs closes for the winter, but this winter, the always-innovating concessionaire will introduce the first annual SeaLegs Greetings, a holiday beachfront experience from November 29-January 5 showcasing live music by local acts and the Huntington Beach High School Christmas Carolers, plus fun for kids and adults. In 2020, the venue will reopen on March 14, for weekends only, and come May, it will resume daily operations for 100 days of summer. Watch them on social for other pop-up events throughout low season.
