Gated Community

Surfside Colony is one of the most exclusive and private beachfront communities in all of Southern California — a gated colony of approximately 500 homes situated directly on the Pacific Ocean between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. Access is restricted to residents and their guests, creating a level of privacy and exclusivity that is virtually unmatched on the Southern California coast. Homes in Surfside Colony sit directly on the sand, with private beach access and unobstructed ocean views. The community is a true hidden gem — known only to those who have discovered it.

Architecture & Home Types

Beach cottages, bungalows, and custom luxury residences, all situated directly on or very close to the sand. The community's organic development over decades has created an architectural diversity that ranges from original 1940s beach cottages to contemporary luxury homes. Many properties have been extensively renovated and expanded.

Lifestyle & Atmosphere

Private, exclusive, and genuinely beachfront. Surfside Colony residents live directly on the Pacific Ocean, with private beach access and a level of seclusion that is simply unavailable in any other coastal Orange County community. The community has its own security, maintenance, and governance structure.

Beach Access

Direct — homes sit on or immediately adjacent to the sand. Private beach access for residents only. The community's beach is uncrowded and genuinely private.

Parks, Recreation & Outdoor Life
