Manhattan Beach Beach Getaways

Manhattan Beach, California is a town without a lot of history. It is named after one of the original major land owner's old homes in New York City and actually became the name of the town by a coin toss victory over shore acres. The city, which was originally part of the ten-mile ocean frontage of Rancho Sausal Redondo, gained most of it's population after World War II when servicemen began to desire a warm weather year round living area. Manhattan Beach has two wooden piers that were constructed in the early 1900's. One stretches over 920 ft into the water and was constructed with a rounded end, in order to reduce damage from large waves. Both piers offer amazing opportunities for fishing year round.
