Manhattan Beach Pier

Manhattan Beach Pier is a wooden structure in California that extends into the ocean, providing access to fishing spots and ocean views. It features a wide walkway with railings and a wider end section where visitors can stand and look out toward the horizon.

The pier was built in the 1920s and has remained a community landmark through various reconstructions and renovations over the decades. Its longevity reflects the importance of maritime activity to the local area.

The pier is easily accessible on foot from the beach and designed for visitors of all abilities with wide pathways and gentle access. Wind and sun exposure are common conditions, so bringing protective clothing and water is recommended.

Many visitors overlook the rich marine life around the pilings, where seabirds and occasional larger sea creatures can be spotted. This small ecosystem is especially lively at sunrise and sunset when anglers arrive and wildlife becomes more active.
