4 Fascinating Walks to Take in Los Angeles

2. Manhattan Beach

When we think about Los Angeles’ famous beaches, the first ones that come into our minds are Santa Monica or Venice Beaches. And, as nice as those two may be, their kinetic, crowded and overwhelming vibes are not so appealing for those of us who want to be able to admire the ocean scenery peacefully.

For a nice, long walk I highly recommend you stop by Manhattan Beach — this place is rarely loaded with people, yet always lively. Located in a classic, welcoming surf town, Manhattan Beach will give you the occasion to relax and enjoy some fascinating views.

Revel in the charming pedestrian-only walkway, stroll down the sandy beach, take your time and enjoy the picturesque Manhattan Beach Pier at the end of which you’ll find a free aquarium — how cool is that? Pick up some seashells, admire the gracious seagulls and listen to the powerful sound of the waves.

Don’t miss the chance to stare at the densely built homes – some quirky, some luxurious, they certainly have their own special flair. Yes, the beach is lined with some stunning houses to peep into, gawk at, and daydream about.

And don’t worry – there are plenty of cute shops and coquette restaurants in the downtown area (which is, basically, a couple of steps away from the beach), so if you feel tired and want to spend some time in a pleasant environment, there are plenty of cozy alternatives.
