Ammunition Pier

WPNSTA Seal Beach

Ammunition Pier Replacement Project

In December 2019 construction began on a Navy project to build a replacement ammunition pier, associated waterfront facilities, causeway and public boating channel inside Anaheim Bay. The project is scheduled to take up to five years to complete. See below for project updates, timelines, and additional information.

Anaheim Bay Navigation Changes

A new civilian boating channel through the Anaheim Bay opened to the public in January 2021. With the new channel opened, the old channel has become part of the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach restricted area and is now blocked off.

Update - October 18, 2024 - Work is currently focusing on the completion of infrastructure and support buildings. Please see the video at the bottom of this page for the latest changes to the harbor area.
