Manhattan Beach is one of the most highly desired places to call home. But what is it that truly allures people to Manhattan Beach? Is it the world-class beaches, the ideal weather, or the local shops and restaurants that make it a prime place to call home?
Where It’s Sunny All Day…
This is Southern California; we would be lying if we didn’t say that almost all of the beaches here are beautiful. But there is something truly magnificent about Manhattan Beach—almost any house you buy on the western side of the city has a view of the water. This is because Manhattan Beach is built on sand dunes that now lay beneath the city’s buildings and roads.
The city’s waterfront homes are not the only thing that allures people to Manhattan Beach. The scenic 928-foot-long pier at the end of Manhattan Beach Boulevard has something to do with the appeal as well. Not only is it absolutely magnificent to see, but it also has attractions on it for locals and tourists alike. You can go to the Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab and Aquarium at the end of the pier to see everything from baby sharks to a tide pool touch tank. And if touching fish isn’t for you, maybe catching them is! The pier is the perfect place to catch almost any fish your heart desires.
Local Shops Just For You
While strolling through Manhattan Beach you will pass so many little shops that have the perfect gift for any occasion. Want to get your girlfriend something nice for her birthday? Go to 23rd Street Jewelers. Or do you feel like treating yourself to a nice Chardonnay? Then check out Bacchus- Wine Made Simple! Or are you just looking for that perfect pair of designer shoes? Because they have a place for that too! And the best part about having so many great local shops is that you are not only getting something truly unique, but you are also putting money back into your community and the place that you call home!
The Restaurants That Are To Die For
There are some restaurants in Manhattan Beach that are to die for! And those restaurants just add to the allure of this city. One of the finest restaurants is Manhattan Beach Post (M. B. Post). M. B. Post is a trendy place to get a delicious dish or an after work drink. Coined “A social house,” M.B. Post serves small shared plates with a playful twist. If the environment isn’t enough, then Chef David LeFevre’s resume is enough to bring you in the door.
Another great restaurant is Manhattan House. Manhattan House is a pub that serves up “cuisine, community and commitment.” It is a neighborhood restaurant with a passion for artisan food and drinks. Manhattan House believes that a “great restaurant should be woven into the fabric of the local community.” Because of this, Manhattan House buy from local farmers, brewers, fishermen and vintners to create their food and drinks.
