Welcome to Manhattan Beach
Manhattan Beach is in the choice coastal edge of Los Angeles County, just 17 miles from downtown Los Angeles and five miles south of Los Angeles International Airport. The city is known as “The Pearl of L.A.’s South Bay” and was immortalized in the Beach Boys classic, “Surfin’ U.S.A.” Manhattan Beach follows El Segundo going South on PCH. Many impressive beachfront homes line the boardwalk as you walk, run, bike, rollerblade or skateboard on The Strand. Its pier is an iconic landmark for the city and is used for many photographs depicting the popular beach city.
