On the beach since 1937, the Seaside Aquarium is the oldest privately owned aquarium on the West Coast. The building was constructed in 1924 where it originally served as a salt water bath house and swimming pool (commonly known as a “natatorium”). The natatorium closed in the early 1930s, and after a series of renovations opened as the Seaside Aquarium we know today.
