Beach Cities of California

Arguably the most exclusive of the three

Part of the "Beach Cities" of California — alongside Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach — Manhattan Beach stands apart for its most luxurious homes, less crowded beaches, and upscale shopping and dining scene.

Living in Manhattan Beach

Birthplace of beach volleyball

Manhattan Beach is the birthplace of beach volleyball and a longstanding hotspot for surfing. The city calendar builds around signature events: the Manhattan Beach Open and the International Surf Festival.

Attractions include the Manhattan Beach Pier and its free-admission roundhouse aquarium at the end of the pier. The Strand — a paved pedestrian path running along the sand — is the city's daily spine, from morning runs to sunset walks.

Upscale Downtown Manhattan Beach delivers the shopping, dining and after-work rhythm that pairs so well with the beachfront lifestyle.

Strand-front homes at the top of the market

Waterfront homes along The Strand command among the highest prices in Southern California. The market is predominantly single-family, with only a small share of townhomes — inventory that reflects the city's residential character.

Architecture leans distinctly contemporary, defined by large glass windows and a design vocabulary shaped by the ocean light. And yet Manhattan Beach is a historic town: homes built from the 1930s onward still anchor entire streets, giving the city its layered, lived-in feel.
