Manhattan Beach has over 2 miles of ocean frontage and 115 acres of beautiful sandy beach. Parking is sufficient with over 450 public parking spaces.
A 900-foot long pier, located at the end of Manhattan Beach Blvd, bisects the area. Fishing is permitted all year on the pier.
Other activities include swimming, and surfing. The north end of the beach, referred to as El Porto, is an extremely popular surf spot where you can even take lessons.
There are also plenty of volleyball nets that extend all the way to Hermosa Beach. The AVP Manhattan Beach Open is held every year in the summer, which also brings out a big crowd.
