City of Manhattan Beach

The City of Manhattan Beach enjoys one of Southern California's most stunning beaches. Surfers, scintillating ocean sunsets, beach volleyball tournaments, restaurants and bars. The white sand beach spans 2.1 miles and connects to the bike path that runs 22 miles from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach. Work your inner Lance Armstrong, dude.

How to Get There: From the Aviation Green Line Station, take Beach Cities Transit Bus 109 to Manhattan Ave. between 10th Street and 9th Place. From here it's a short walk to the strand and pier. The fare is only $1 and the average travel time is 40 minutes.
