30 Incredible ‘Bucket List’ Places to Visit in California

Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach is one of the South Bay beaches that’s not very far from LAX. It’s one of the beach towns that provides people with a real local vibe and feel of community too. It’s nowhere near as touristy as Santa Monica either.

Wander the Manhattan Beach streets and enjoy the boutique stores and local eateries and take in the genuine beach town atmosphere. Explore the beach promenade between popular Manhattan Pier and old Hermosa Pier. The sunsets at Manhattan Beach are reported to be stunning. Don’t forget to sample a tasty sundowner at one of the beer gardens along the promenade either!
