  • The pier was built in the 1920s and is a very famous landmark of the South Bay. There is a nice little aquarium in the building at the end of the pier. It is free, but they ask for donations to keep it running... $1.00 per person is good.

    Directions: Go down Manhattan Beach Blvd.... it dead ends into the pier.

  • Walk/Ride/Rollerblade down the strand (the strand is the long sidewalk along the beach) in Manhattan Beach.
    The picture below was taken in the middle of December. Summer or Winter, it is nice be on the stand and watch people play volleball or surf. There are two strands, one for walking (on the left) and one for riding/rollerblading (on the right). I have noticed that visitors are sometimes confused by the two separate uses of each of the strands. Please be aware, because you don't want to get run over by someone on a bike if you are walking on the bike strand. I have seen it happen.

  • Play volleyball in the sand. Many believe that Manhattan Beach is the birthplace of beach volleyball. If you visit you should attempt to play sport. Once you try to move in the deep sand here in Manhattan you will have new found respect for the pros which make this sport look so easy.

     Nice place to live in. I didn't know that Manhattan Beach is the birthplace of beach volleyball. In Portugal we have some great volleyball players.

     Summer '74 as Kansas college junior came to MB to join my brother, med student at USC. Lived on 42nd. Could walk to El T's after day at beach/partying. Your story makes it sound like nothing has changed. Nice to know 30 years later. Thanks for good memory
