Manhattan Beach

One of the city's most popular seaside stretches, Manhattan Beach draws weekend crowds to its sandy shorelines. This beach is ideal for sunbathing, surfing and boogie boarding, but be advised that surfing is limited to the south side of the pier and boogie boarding is confined to the north side of the pier. Volleyball courts are abundant, and anglers find fishing conditions favorable. The pier even features a vibrant aquarium complete with a touch pool. Get your grub on at popular Manhattan Beach dining establishments like Izakaya by Katsu-Ya, The Kettle, or Rock ‘N Fish. Downtown Manhattan Beach also offers myriad shopping opportunities.
