Manhattan Beach, California is a beach city in the Los Angeles area that offers a variety of activities for visitors and locals alike. From surfing and sunbathing to shopping and dining, there is something for everyone in this vibrant city. The two-mile stretch of wide, flat sandy beach starts in the south on 1st Street and extends to Rosecrans Avenue, where the beach becomes El Porto beach. The popular beach gets quite crowded during the weekends in the summer months, as well as during any event on the beach and near the Manhattan Pier.
There are nearly a hundred volleyball courts that can be connected, making it an ideal place to sunbathe or play a game of beach volleyball. The Manhattan Beach Pier is an iconic place to photograph with its photogenic round house with a red roof near the end of the pier and the turquoise steel railing that runs the length of the pier.
