El Porto Beach, Public beach in Manhattan Beach, California

The beach stretches north to south with volleyball courts spread across the sand and a paved path for cycling and skating along the coastline.

El Porto Beach was originally part of a 1911 development project by George H. Peck, who subdivided the area into 83 business lots and 225 residential lots.

Local surfers gather at this beach due to its underwater canyon formation that generates larger waves compared to neighboring coastal areas.

The beach entrance and parking lot with meters are located at the western end of 45th Street, with restrooms, showers, and a food stand available.

The waves at El Porto Beach can reach twice the normal height when conditions align, creating both left and right breaks over the sandbars.
