Manhattan Beach Travel Guide: 353 reviews and 774 photos
I hadn't been to Manhattan Beach for many years, now I don't know why as there is always something going on there. It has a great strand for rollerblading, bike riding or walking the dog. The Surf Festival 6-Person Volleyball Tournament was going strong on August 2nd, and the founders of our Virtual Tourist travel site invited all its members to their tent to watch this colorful event featuring volleyball teams in outrageous costumes.
The pictures from this event is featured in my travelog.
Manhattan Beach isn't always so crowded - this is the beach on the other side of the pier during the volleyball tournament.
Manhattan Beach is primarily a residential community located right on the beach with a tree-line downtown and a beautiful pier. It has a small town spirit with a laid back atmosphere and boasts the World’s best year-round weather. Many shops and services line Sepulveda Blvd. and Manhattan Beach Blvd. to service its residents and visitors.
Manhattan Beach sits between the towns of El Segundo and Hermosa Beach. To get Manhattan and Manhattan State Beach from the 405 Freeway, use the Rosecrans Ave exit, turn left on Sepulveda, which is Highway 1 to Manhattan Beach Blvd. and turn right – down the hill you will see the Manhattan Beach pier. From the 105 Freeway, exit at Sepulveda south and turn right onto Manhattan Beach Blvd.
- Pros:A Happening Place for Beach Goers.
- Cons:Parking is at a Minimum
- In a nutshell:A Great Beach in Southern California

Lived in Manhattan Beach during my high school years (on 12th across from the fire station). Never heard the Gregory Peck connection before. You sure you weren't drinking shots and getting your leg pulled?
Depends on what day and how the traffic is. 45 minute drive on a good day!!!
An absolutely a gorgeous beach, how far is this Manhattan Beach from your place? The Pier looks very beautiful.
;Jealous I am. You met Yubert!!!!! Or is it Kim Jung il?
Great page on Manhattan Beach - I do love that Southern California atmosphere. Wonderful pictures. Sure looks like the VT party was fun.
Great pics from the VT get-together.
Amazing and very, very sympathetic faces in your travelogues! Thank you very, very much for "Hello to matcrazy1" = MatLoco1 hehe! I am flattered :-). Good suggestions in tips as well!
Sorry I had to miss VT party. Glad you all had so much fun. Great photos, Nancy.
Your travelogues are superb, very well 'created' Nancy!! The best record of the meeting, for sure. :-)
Very informative, Nancy! Great stuff! :-) It's been wonderful meeting you in person!
