Address: 120 26th St, Manhattan Beach, CA

One of the best places in LA to kick back and get your feet wet.

A gorgeous, recessed park steps away (and overlooking) one of the top-ranking beaches in Los Angeles. It’s fine-grained, white sand was once exported to Waikiki Beach! [ref] Both park and beach are super easy to access. There’s two 5-hour, metered parking lots directly across from the address above.

Weekdays (and sunsets) are optimal, as weekends get quite busy – making parking more limited & challenging.
