Fodor's Expert Review Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach Beach

A wide, sandy strip with good swimming and rows of volleyball courts, Manhattan Beach is the preferred destination of fit, tanned young professionals. There are also such amenities as a bike path, a playground, a bait shop, fishing equipment for rent, and a sizable fishing pier with a free aquarium at the end. It's the perfect place to unwind during a long layover at LAX. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards; parking (fee); showers; toilets. Best for: swimming; walking.
