The six deaths were confirmed and three other victims were taken to a hospital in critical condition, police Sgt. Steve Bowles told KCAL-TV.
Police arrested a man in a traffic stop a half-mile (1 kilometer) from the shooting scene and he was taken into custody, Bowles said. He added that multiple weapons were seized.
The motive was not immediately known.
The shooting was reported at 1:21 p.m. (2021 GMT) in a cluster of small businesses on Pacific Coast Highway.
The quiet beachfront city of approximately 25,000 residents identifies itself as the Gateway to Southern California's Orange County and is located about 30 miles (50 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles.
It is home to Leisure World, a gated senior citizen community of 9,000 people, as well as the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station military complex.
