[[File:Pacific Electric Railcar Sideview.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Pacific Electric Rail Car]] Seal Beach is also home to the [[Bay Theatre, Seal Beach|Bay Theatre]], which was a popular venue for independent film and revival screenings. It was closed in 2012 but was purchased in 2017 by Paul Dunlap who is currently restoring it. The [[Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge]] is located on part of the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach. Much of the [[National Wildlife Refuge|refuge]]'s {{convert|911|acre|km2}} is the remnant of the [[salt marsh|saltwater marsh]] in the Anaheim Bay [[estuary]] (the rest of the marsh became the bayside community of Huntington Harbour<!--don't spell check--this is the correct spelling-->, which is part of Huntington Beach). Three endangered species, the [[Ridgway's rail|Ridgway's light-footed rail]], the [[California least tern]], and the Belding's [[Savannah sparrow]], can be found nesting in the refuge. With the loss and degradation of coastal wetlands in California, the remaining habitat, including the [[Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve]] in Huntington Beach and Upper Newport Bay in [[Newport Beach, California|Newport Beach]], has become much more important for migrating and wintering shorebirds, waterfowl, and seabirds. Although the refuge is a great place for birdwatching, because it is part of the weapons station, access is limited and usually restricted to once-a-month tours.
