Manhattan Beach is one of the crown jewels of southern California! This fine community is known for its high quality of life, one of the best in the state! High standards are maintained in schools, business and city government. Manhattan Beach is centrally located in Los Angeles County and is close to Hollywood and other southern California attractions. It’s own production studio is home to such popular television shows as “Ally McBeal,” and “The Practice.” The city of Manhattan Beach has stunning natural beauty, and is a big draw for visitors or those looking to settle here permanently. Some of the country’s top athletes call Manhattan Beach “home.” The Manhattan Beach Pier has become a symbol for the city as it stretches out to meet the beautiful blue Pacific. And the beaches are superb, and popular for sunbathing, swimming, surfing and volleyball. Manhattan Beach has a wide variety of restaurants, from elegant to casual, and shopping is just as diverse offering just about anything you would hope to find for yourself or as gifts! Here, you can relax and build a sandcastle on the beach with your children, jog along the surf, or take a romantic walk along the beach at sunset. Manhattan Beach is truly special and you will never be disappointed you visited!

Manhattan Beach Weather & Climate

Southern California along the Pacific Coast enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year. As with most of the state of California, summers are dry due to a semi-permanent high pressure system that sits in the Pacific Ocean and holds storm tracks well to the north. Warm air moving over the cool ocean in summer creates fog that moves in during the evening and early morning hours but almost always dissipates by midday. The rainy season is November through early April, but this area receives only approximately 12 inches of precipitation per year. Some flash flooding can occur when large amounts of rain occur in winter over a period of one or two days, and in summertime, very dry conditions in the higher elevations means forest fires are always a threat.
