    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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 :-)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
