Why locals recommend it

From Santa Monica or Venice, I love to cruise along the beachfront bike path to the South Bay. Between 26th and 27th in Manhattan Beach, you’ll find a set of bars you can work out on. A lot of calisthenics athletes and yogis congregate here to do pull-ups and muscle-ups. And some of them perform crazy tricks like 360s. 3 sets of 10 pullups, 20 pushups, and 40 lateral bench jumps overs — which are exactly what they sound like, jumping from side to side over one of the weightlifting benches. Add on a sprint to the ocean and back for each set.

All the tourists flock to Santa Monica, locals go to Manhattan Beach to walk the strand. If you want to enjoy the city like a local, ditch SaMo, and go to MB, you won't be disappointed!

Manhattan Beach is a laid-back South Bay community popular with families and outdoor enthusiasts. The Strand bike path winds along the oceanfront between modern mansions and wide stretches of sand lined with volleyball courts. Low-key Manhattan Beach Pier features a quaint aquarium and views of surfers. There are several parks, and a small downtown area with boutiques, brunch cafes, pubs & creative, upscale eateries.
