Welcome to Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach (pop: 33,800) is the home of both beach and indoor volleyball, and surfing (during the winter, the waves can get as big as 12 feet). It is one of the three Beach Cities in the South Bay.

Manhattan Beach is a very affluent beach town within commuting distance of Los Angeles and therefore it is one of the most expensive coastal towns in which to live in America, according to the most recent Fortune Magazine rankings.

Manhattan Beach and the local high school, Mira Costa High School, were the real-life film locations for the popular t.v. show The O.C.

The Strand path and bikeway along the beach is popular for biking, jogging, roller blading, and skateboarding. Volleyball nets are set up along the beach, and swimming, body boarding and surfing are popular among residents and visitors. Manhattan Beach is considered the birthplace of beach volleyball and Mira Costa High School, has long been known for its outstanding volleyball program.
