Manhattan Beach Travel Guide

 14 Reviews  If you want to go to the best, overall beach in Los Angeles county, forget about overhyped Santa Monica and come down to Manhattan, "the Pearl of the South Bay". Though packed at peak times in the height of summer weekends, you will find fewer people and more of a local feel. Most locals won't mind... 

 4 Reviews  The Strand, technically a street, is a wonderful pedestrian/bicycle path that goes right along the beach through town. It is divided into two parts: an upper for pedestrians and a lower one closer to the beach for bicyclists. It is very pelasant and scenic, as well as conventient, allowing one to... 

 4 Reviews  A round building at the end of the pier, "Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab and Aquarium " holds an aquarium which includes an exhibit of the native flora and fauna of the area. This is not only an aquarium, but also a research lab dedicated to the study and care of our ocean. Questions about the... 

 9 Reviews  A volleyball tournamenet that takes place every summer during the FIRST WEEKEND of AUGUST, just south of the pier. It is a great event that takes place over the whole weekend! Not only do some of the great weekend players come out, but everyone dresses up! For instance, there was the Mexican water... 

 1 Review  Just up from the Pier is Manhattan Beach Blvd, one of the main drags in town. The closest establishments to the beach were, yes, the bars. And, even in the afternoon, they were hoppin'! If you need a break from the beach, take a walk on Manhattan Beach Blvd, and some of the surrounding streets too.... 

 11 Reviews  I love Pancho's! I've been going here since I was young. The ambience, location, and the food make it a great "beach city" Mexican Restaurant. The bar upstairs is great for drinks and appetizers. They have a huge TV to catch sporting events. I truly reccomend going downstairs in the dining area... 

 10 Reviews  Rock N' Fish is a classic locals restaurant in Manhattan Beach and is definitely our go-to restaurant when we want solid, high quality food. Honestly, I don't think I've ever been disappointed with a meal here (and I eat here at least once per week). In addition to a wide variety of fish options,... 

 8 Reviews  Upscale American comfort food at it's best. Quality food, decent wine list, and an upbeat atmosphere make Houston's a favorite for every crowd. Houston's specializes in great sandwiches, including: *Cheeseburger *Fresh Fish sandwich *Famous French Dip (One of the best items on the menu!..Prime... 

 7 Reviews  This is a pretty good brewpub. It's a nice place, comfortable if a little small. It has some pretty good food and a nice range. The beer is overall not bad, the few I've had ranging from mediocre to pretty good. The location is nice, about one block up from the pier and the beach near the... 

 4 Reviews  Getting to Manhattan Beach by car is the most convenient mode of travel in my opinion. Your own car, a rented car or even a hired Limo. Los Angeles International Airport is just a few miles up the road from Manhattan Beach and at the airport there are lots of car rental companies that will service... 

 3 Reviews  This goes without saying: You should never drink and drive, but around here...You definitely don't want to drink and drive. Cabs are plentiful on Friday and Saturday nights. You have no excuse. You could even ride a bike - I guess it's a little safter than driving. 

 5 Reviews  The story of the baton... check it out at Baton West & Baton East. Birthdate: Feb. 1. It went around the world in 2 different directions. Baton West won! 

 7 Reviews  Well a litte different on Saturday don't you think .During this weekend late July early August the 6 Men Volleyball Tourney is held here in Manhattan Beach .
