Manhattan Beach Pier

An octagonal Mediterranean-style building sits at the end of this 928-foot pier  that, in the 1940s, was a mecca for a new sports craze: surfing . Read more

Nice spot if your lady wants to hang on the beach while you're surfing . North or south side of the pier , depending on tide and swell. Cool spot also to snap some surfer 's pictures from the pier .

I just love this beach ! Beautiful weather, and not crowded at all...even in summer. Make sure you bring a sweater because it gets windy and cold.

If you are a surfer , this is the place to be. Great for people watching and lazy walks. The sunset is a must see. Make sure you bring a sweater as it gets quite windy. Good restaurants near by.

Manhattan Beach Pier has an assortment of fun activities going on. Love the mini aquariam at the end, fun to visit and learn more about sea life in The Pacific. Underneath is a popular spot for photos

You can walk along the boardwalk for hours admiring the sunset and huge homes! Beach is clean and family oriented! One of my new faves!

Chilled this AM, post-4th revelling. Barricades in place on bike path already, for the neutralized pier section. Just slow way down, be safe, walk the bike , and make your fellow cyclists look good :-)

This was true romantic ! Amazing view , quite environment (opposite to Santa Monica ), romantic views , watching people surfing . Loved this place, really!

Take a stroll to the end of the pier and visit the Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab & Aquarium , a museum with exhibits dedicated to California aquatic life.

Beautiful Sunset over the Pacific Ocean . The walk path by the houses is pure cuteness . California chill all the way!

Surf 's up, or get sand in your shorts playing beach volleyball ! Gnarly!

Quieter than Santa Monica , the little aquarium is nice and free

A beautiful place to watch surfers , people fishing from the pier and enjoy the ocean. There is a cafe on the pier to grab coffee if it is cold.

Loved the intimacy and the atmosphere, my soul is much more lighter than before ????

Great place to watch surfers and catch the sunset

An absolute must-do in Manhattan Beach. Amazing views of the beach . Always fun to watch the surfers .

A great place to shoot pictures, especially near sunset . With the ocean, the setting sun, and the ability to use the "open shade" under the pier , I always get a good shot.

The view ! And the beach is always nice but not too busy!

Great rest top to and from the lighthouse for cyclists

Best atmosphere in any of the Beach Cities !

Great place to hangout, running, walking, skating . Restaurants around are saturated

Great view of the Pacific ocean . Good place to walk.

This place is just a beautiful place to stop and take photos and walk around. So relaxing.

Lovely pier with great views . 8/10

Come here for sunset ! Great view

Beautiful pier . Really liked the vibe of this beach .

Great place for a run or walk. Then for a coffee on the pier .

I recommend going here instead of Santa Monica 's

Beautiful and tranquil place to enjoy the beach .

Nice place to kill a couple hours before a flight. Only 15 mins to car rent returns

Perfect place for relaxing and playing volleyball

Watch out for dolphins (apparently I just missed them putting in a show) and sharks too!

The acuarium at the end is tiny but really nice

There's a little cafe here and the world's smallest aqarium museum , but still, you can't beat it for a pause during a down the strand. Read more

Nice beach when you want to get away from the crowds

Fancy schmancy Manhattan Beach!

Love this place, it's very charming.

Text manhattan to 310-846-8100 to get special offers from Manhattan Beach shops, bars , and restaurants .

Just a magical place....lucky the people who live right on the beach !!

Watch out for parking lots that have tiny signs that say head in only. We backed in and got a dang ticket cause we didn't notice the signs.

Beautiful views , quiet and relaxing.

Check out the Manhattan Beach lights on the holidays

Nice beach . Not too crowded and clean .

I can spend a day in here easly

Really long pier on the ocean

Fun area to people watch and watch early morning surfers . There is a small cafe at the end of the pier .
