Walked the Strand one night, both north and south of the pier. It was nice, pleasant, and safe. Lots of nice beach houses to admire while walking the Strand.
Keep in mind that the City of Manhattan Beach has a very strict ban on smoking in ALL areas except inside a private home, certain hotel rooms, and in moving cars. That means no smoking outdoors, even on the beach, pier, Strand, etc.

The Pier at Hermosa Beach is well worth the walk! A great place to stroll, people watch, surf watch and enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. Just off the strand and lots of restaurants and shops. Hermosa Beach and the Pier were wonderful!

What makes a museum top dog? There is a lot of competition for where to go on the weekends. The difference here is passion. They love their museum, the cars, and the space. There is always something going on, car shows, food trucks, kid activities. They also have a ice cream parlor and popcorn for the kids. Our kids love going on the weekend, Especially when the hot wheels show is going on.

This is still my favorite beach in Southern California after all these years! It’s clean and family friendly, with gorgeous views of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and beautiful sunsets. Great for surfing, sitting in the sand, playing some sports, bringing kids, splashing in the waves, etc. You can also enjoy a nice walk or bike ride along the strand (concrete path). There is metered parking along Esplanade, or you can find parking along a street nearby like one of the avenues. There are many fun restaurants and shops either in the Riviera Village around Avenue I or up north at the Redondo Beach pier. You won’t regret visiting this fabulous beach!

Twice bought shirts at Nordstrom, but couldn’t find a jacket. My friend found bargains for a 10 month old granddaughter at Macy’s. Dined at night twice in Brio (I think) Italian restaurant and had lunch in Nordstrom’s 2nd level cafe with a heated patio. There is also a separate Barnes & Noble bookstore between the Street and parking lot that is open late.

Went because we had time to kill. The reviews here were on point. We didnt have an appointment and still they made it happen for us. A really nice pilot greeted us at the door and arranged for the tour. Theres plenty to choose from, starting with the mini tour for 90 p/p. We opted for the 30 min 300 for the 2 of us. Since it was our first time on a heli we opted for less time. We made the right choice. The facilities are very clean and they make you feel comfortable.
Alex was our pilot. He squeezed us in in his schedule. Alex, was really, really nice. He explained everything clearly and then we took of. It was awesome. He took us up the coast. Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Over LAX. It was awesome. We saw 2 planes take off, a few land. It was an awesome experience. During the tour Alex gave us the heads up when turning. He was really cool.
If you are in the area, go on this tour. It beats the traffic! I will go again when in the area for sure!! Ask for Alex

Came for Bruno Mars. Haven't been here in years. Currently in construction outside, indoors it's new & clean. Various food selections, women's bathrooms had plenty of stalls. Capacity not huge, not a bad seat in the house. Parking is far, lots of walking.

Where do I begin...Robin, the coordinator, was Amazing! She not only helped me plan this from Mobile but she was professional, sweet as pie, and very flexible with last minute updates and changes. The venue is gorgeous. She made my family feel welcomed since they were coordinating for me in the West. Although i haven't seen my pictures yet...i know they will be awesome because the photographer was simply amazing. DO NOT HIRE A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THIS VENUE...SHE KNOWS HER STUFF...from the lighting to the poses...she was on it. My family csn be a little demanding, yet this photographer handled it like a champ with excellent time management. I can go on and on about why you should go with this fabulous team...but there is simply not enough time. Robin, I would do business with you anytime. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Was at the pier one night in September just before sundown. There are signs that state the city law that prohibits smoking in the city and even on the pier. At the far end of the pier was someone smoking. This pier is just a plain pier, with only the little aquarium at the far end. What could've been a nice quiet sunset walk out over the water was spoiled by this inconsiderate smoker.
It was too late to see the aquarium as it has limited hours.
Smokers take note and non-smokers rejoice:
The City of Manhattan Beach only allows smoking in private homes, certain hotel rooms, and in moving cars.
SMOKING IS PROHIBITED in ALL public places and that includes ALL outdoor areas such as outside of buildings, sidewalks, streets, open spaces, the beach, pier etc.
The City of Hermosa Beach, next door to the south, also has a strict ban on public smoking.

We had a good walk around the pier and looked at the restaurants and fish shops. It is easy to park here underground.
