    THE BEACH!

    After strolling around town, down the Pier and treading the sand at the beach it became apparent why some people have such high praise for Manhattan Beach, especially compared to other parts of L.A.

    This is more of a local hang-out than a huge tourist destination and it seemed that the locals take full advantage of the opportunities found at the seaside, such as sunbathing, swimming, surfing and having romantic interludes in the water or on the sand.

    The beach of Manhattan Beach is probably the nicest beach I've ever been to (I am not the expert however as I normally go north ;). With the sound of big waves, lots of surfers, baywatch style lifeguards and lots of people just enjoying the sunshine the 3 hours we spent here we a big highlight of our trip to California. Soooo relaxing. The sunburn I had afterwards wasn't very relaxing though ;-)

    But finally I saw them!

    It is getting fashion in some areas of Spain to build on the beach similar houses for the lifeguards, but I still think it was thanks to that series of Tv hehehe .....

    Not sure if it is also not permitted to smoke on the beach, but maybe that’s why the police at the car was looking funny to Stace ;-) or maybe the elephant hat :P)

    While everyone was enjoying the drinks and the party, the rest of the people was enjoying the beach and some of them trying to surf.... (it was not the best sea for surfing I guess...)

    ok, I love Beach Boys (nothing to do with beach dogs... that I like as well hehehe)

    We were at the pier and we saw a couple of surfers trying to get some waves... but with not much luck, the sea was not appropriate for it...

    You HAVE to go down to the beach. You can do everything from laying out on the warm, soft sand to playing volleyball in the summertime. Manhattan Beach is world renown for beach vollyeball, as well as surfing. In the evening, there is nothing quite like a sunset in Manhattan Beach. In the summertime, it is quite a social scene at the beach. Everyone who's anyone hangs out and just has a good time! It's a great way to meet the locals!
    One of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California is Manhattan Beach. The water is an absolutely amazing azure color that sparkles in the sunlight like a newly polished diamond! The sun's reflection on the water is sooo bright that it's difficult to even look at the water directly!

  • Directions: Manhattan Beach is located just south of the Los Angeles airport (LAX). The beach extends from about Highland and 45th street all the way down to Highland and 1st street.

  • Be absolutely sure to visit the actual beach. It's well groomed and has a boardwalk that goes on for miles. Grab a coffee from the local Starbucks and walk out on the pier. So incredibly pleasant!
