Seasonside is a community app for neighbors in the South Bay and Long Beach, California. It exists to make one thing easy: finding, joining, and hosting recurring hobby groups with your neighbors. A book club that meets monthly. A walking group on Saturday mornings. A game night that becomes a tradition. Not one-off events with strangers you'll never see again, but the kind of regular gathering where familiar faces slowly become friends. WHAT'S INSIDE Groups: Browse sixteen interest communities, from readers and outdoors to food, games, parents, and pets. Join a drop-in club anytime, or commit to a season club, a small group that meets together through a real calendar season (spring, summer, fall, or winter), then wraps up and decides what's next. Events: See what's coming up near you, RSVP in two taps, and get a reminder before it starts. Open events welcome anyone in the neighborhood. Plaza: The town square. Local happenings, things neighbors are giving away, questions for the neighborhood, and local businesses. Chats: Group conversations and direct messages with the people you actually meet. No follower counts, no public performance. Shelf: Your personal record of life in your neighborhood. Collections, local challenges, and the small mementos of a season well spent. Hosting: Anyone can host. Seasonside handles the RSVPs, the reminders, and the scheduling, so being the person who brings people together stops feeling like a second job. WHAT SEASONSIDE IS NOT Not a dating app. That's a structural rule, not a suggestion. No algorithmic feed deciding what you see. No streaks, no engagement bait, no pressure to open the app daily. If you come twice a week and make it to one gathering a month, that's success. The point of Seasonside is what happens off your phone. ONE AREA AT A TIME Seasonside opens one area at a time, each with its own groups, events, and Plaza: San Pedro & the Peninsula, Long Beach, the Beach Cities, and Torrance, Gardena, Carson & Lomita. Enter your ZIP code to see if your area is open. If it isn't yet, you can get your area's free local newsletter on our website in the meantime. We'd rather do each place well than every place thinly. Local means local. Seasonside is free to join. Friendship, in season.
