Hotels in Manhattan Beach

Catch the perfect wave at Manhattan Beach's pristine shoreline, where volleyball players spike on sand courts that have launched Olympic careers. The historic pier stretches into the Pacific, housing a free aquarium at its end with touch tanks for curious fingers. Rent bikes to cruise The Strand, the oceanfront path connecting to neighboring beach towns. Bruce's Beach offers a quieter alternative with important civil rights history. Polliwog Park's duck pond and amphitheater provide family-friendly respite from the sun. After sunset, downtown's upscale restaurants fill with locals who somehow maintain beach-casual vibes despite their Beverly Hills budgets. For the full experience, brave the morning chill to watch surfers greet dawn with remarkable dedication.
