Not all that much has changes in the circa '65 Sunset Beach shot, the Douglas Gas station is now a used/consignment car lot, the building to the right is a Taco Surf, and Turc's Bar to the left is exactly the same. The water tower in the background was converted into a home 20 - 30 years ago, and has been pretty much on the real estate market perpetually since.

----Oh yah!!! I now I recognize that watertower. I used to stay at a motel just south of that when in the LA area.....Bill S

Bill,

There is a small motel on that side down the street next to an Italian restaurant. There are two others going north on the opposite side of the road closer to the bridge going over Anaheim Bay where the Navy has a large pier. Where this photo was taken from has changed significantly. It is called Peter's Landing with condos, shops, and a Starbuck's where the locals have small car shows on weekends.

Bill,

Took this a few minutes ago, for comparison purposes, since you remember the tower. The signs on the tower say &quot;Vacation Rental&quot; and &quot;For Lease or Rent.&quot; I also took shots of the other two Sunset Beach scenes if anyone is interested.

I was going to say something about the water tower...but I figured that you'd be on here soon anyways!

Taco Surf...MMMM good food! We used to go to the one by Seal Beach Pier all the time!
