Pier Farm Stands Today, Guided Estuary Walks Tomorrow
Seal Beach, CA · September 4, 2026
Canopy tents are already popping up along the pier approach for this morning's farm market. With a quiet overcast holding steady past noon, the weekend ahead is built for wandering between coastal stalls and tidal trails.
The Lead
The Friday farmers market returns to the foot of the pier from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM today, filling Eisenhower Park with regional growers, fresh sourdough, and seasonal produce. It sets the pace for a weekend built around open-air coastal traditions. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust leads its monthly guided walking tour through the salt marsh near Pacific Coast Highway and 1st Street, tracking native salt bush and returning shorebirds.
Looking slightly ahead, preparations are already underway for the 48th Annual Seal Beach Lions Arts & Crafts Faire, which brings over 100 juried crafters to the waterfront on September 12–13. Volunteer shifts with the Leo Club and fall kayak tour reservations on Steamshovel Slough are booking up quickly this week. Secure a marsh walk RSVP online today, then keep next weekend open for the shoreline booths.
