What is this nonsense? California sucks
Went there with the family a couple years ago after a disney trip. We picked it because of how close it is to LAX and did a half day before an early evening flight home. Ate lunch at Rock N Fish and it was absolutely amazing. One if the best seafood restraunts I've been to.
Nice! Thanks for the report on Rock N Fish!
Stayed in Manhattan Beach for 1 night when we landed in LAX. Ended up going back 3 times on the same roadtrip, The Kettle is amazing!
Sweet!
It's a favorite of us locals too, especially late at night when mostly everything else is closed.
Greetings from Finland! I will visit in manhattan beach again when i can!
Awesome Gordon in Finland!
Yayyy I’ve been there before it’s really pretty!!!
It sure is 2Luvz!
In times like this, you are freedom for us .. I love this channel !!
Thanks Thomas!
Yes I really wanted to live there it's my favorite place my Manhattan Beach California
Of all your great walking tours, I enjoyed this one the most. 👍🏻
Sweet NothingMaster!
This looks a beautiful I seem to recognise that pier,if I aren't mistaken ,wasn't Mankattan beach pier used in a baywatch episode at the time?
This looks a beautiful area and a georgeous beach,can't believe how clean everyone looks.Thankyou for this interesting video.
Very nice beach. Thanks for taking the time to show us the shops and restaurants with this walking tour.
Thanks Troy!
This was a great tour! This is one of my favorite beaches in the area. I'd love to see your take on The Strand sometime!
Enjoying the double feature this weekend! Manhattan Beach looks beautiful, we didn't see it when we visited that area, definitely adding it to the list. Love the separate paths for walking & bicycles. The views look amazing from the patios, with lots of good eats ! Thanks Chris great video!
Thanks Colleen.. being right next to LAX super easy to swing by on your way in or out :)
Nice job Chris!
Wow, I've never seen a diaganol crosswork. Great idea!
wow this is really nice ! never heard of this beach before
GREAT WALK ON THE BEACH THANKS
Looks lovely
This is a great video, really enjoyed watching it.
Thanks Lex!
Beat kept secret family friendly beach in LA, lived there form many years.
I stayed at north Redondo on my first (and only this far) trip to the states in 2019 and Manhattan Beach was the first place I visited and is where I enjoyed my first socal Mexican feed so it’s got a special place in my heart. Have been crossing my fingers you’d do this video Chris! Thank you for letting my relive my memories of MB :)
Mmmm! Socal Mexican!
@@YellowProductions it was El Sombreo 1 on Manhattan Ave, a delicious way to kick off my American holiday, followed by Clippers v Lakers at Staples Center that night!!
Hi Chris! Thank you for this video. I just flew me, my daughter and baby grand daughter to Cali. We went to Manhattan Beach which is our all time fave of all of the beaches. We love how effortless and, walkable it is, and the beach itself is beautiful! Our favorite place to eat is Uncle Bills Pancake House. You are correct about feeling safe. I am very comfortable there, as opposed to Venice Beach. Stay safe and healthy out there! CAB😊
Sweet CAB! :)
If you ever get back to Melbourne go to a place called Phillip island it’s a,
Cool little beach town just like this one .
It is very good place to se and thank you for sharing it my dear friend.
Thanks my friend in Cambodia!
It's amazing how quiet the beach looked that day! It is one way to see how large the beach actually is. I'll be curious if any of the restaurants along Manhattan Beach Blvd will keep some of the outdoor dining areas? The views of the ocean from the road looked really nice!
I hope they keep the outdoor seating.. its pretty nice! :)
which hotels nearby would you recommend?
Grew up in Torrance a few hundred feet from the Redondo border and not far from the Redondo Beach/Hermosa Beach border. Manhattan Beach is just north. I could walk to Manhattan Pier from our house. Our family used to go to the beach in Manhattan Beach as the sand is wider than it is farther south. I still don't live very far away and shop in the area. My brother and his family live close to the pier. Thanks.
Chris...thanks so much for this video. Love MB! Pre-covid I used to visit LA regularly from Australia, and always visited MB, so was really excited and sad at the same time when I saw you were doing a beach video of Manhattan Beach. It has a great village atmosphere, food and beer, but yeh, a little on the pricey side. A couple of blocks over from your walk is a South Bay institution...Uncle Bill's Pancake House. To die for breakfasts.
I haven't had Uncle Bills.. I do love pancakes though!
Thanks for the tour, Chris. Another thing I like about Manhattan Beach is that it's close to the airport. I've stopped there a couple times and walked around and grabbed a coffee when I had some time to kill before I needed to return my rental car.
Super close to LAX indeed!
Awesome job chris
Thanks Awesome Adam! :)
No problem Chris.
Last part of my research i tried tobe brief as much as I can it’s incorporated 1912 it’s too one of beach cities along Hermosa beach Redonda beach city of Manhattan beach was ranked as best city to live in USA it’s was sandy coastal area inhabited by Tongva of Native Americans Chowigna in mid 18 th century Portoia expedition first European land exploration and Spanish crown Scottish immigrants there are several activities such as body boarding surfing bike parh Manhattan beach botanical garden in year 2008 travel channel named 9th sexiest beach on earth thank you for your cultural documentary channel ihope for your channel more success and progress stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones
My family has lived in the area since the 1890's. That's ancient history here. Never heard of Scottish immigrants here before it became part of the US in the 1840's. I strongly doubt the local Gabrielino tribes spent much time directly on the beach area or what used to be a somewhat marshy area behind it as the water supplies are seasonal and there are better places for fishing and getting shellfish. We do get a lot of our water from our local aquifer by using deep wells, but we do a lot of maintenance to avoid salinization from the ocean water seeping in. The original natives couldn't do that. The semi-permanent Indian villages were located along the streams that flowed out of the mountains on our north, the biggest being where downtown LA is today. Descendents of the local tribes are still around intermarried with the local population, but in a metropolitan area as populous as Los Angeles and the surrounding counties they're hard to find among the more than 30 million residents. I have met a few. The area was first throughly explored in the 1770's by the Spaniards who founded Los Angeles and the Franciscan missionaries. The largest local ranches in the area were owned by the Dominguez and Sepulveda families, both of which are still around. I went to school locally with some Dominguez descendents, though you wouldn't know it by looking at them. The main line of the family is now called Watson from a son-in-law in the 1860's. They still own a lot of land, businesses and the local water company. Los Angeles was still a very small town until the railroads reached here in the 1890's. Manhatran and Redondo Beaches were originally developed as terminuses for the local trolley systems. The other impetus of growth came from both the ooening of the Panama Canal, which opened major shipping routes to LA's ports, and the construction of aqueduct systems to transport water hundreds of miles from the massive Sierra Nevada mountains to the north and east and from the Colorado River far to the east beyond the Mojave Desert. The water allowed the entire region to rapidly expand in size. Up until the mid 20th Century there was still a lot of farming and dairy ranching in the area. Most of the housing was built in the 1950's and 1960's. Up through the 1950's there were oil wells along the beach. When I was growing up there were oil wells on almost every block. They mostly disappeared by the early 2000's due the rise in real estate prices but there is still a lot of oil under the area. There even used to be natural seeps of asphalt and tar coming out of the ground. We have long been an area of advanced technology. When I was a kid most of the dads in my neighborhood were working on the,space program. I have been an aerospace engineer much of my career and so have many of my relatives. There's also a major movie studio in Manhatran Beach. The famous rock group The Beach Boys were from the area, as well as many other musicians over the years. It's never been unusual to see Hollywood people in the area and some of our locals have become famous in films. There are a lot of films and commercials shot in the area. The Pacific Ocean usually lives up to it's name of being peaceful but occasionally violent storms can hit the coast. The bay in front of Manhatran Beach looks peaceful but it can be very dangerous for shipping and most ships stay well clear of the coast before swing around to the south and east to enter or exit the Long Beach/LA-San Pedro Harbors complex, one of the largest in the world. LA Airport (LAX) is just to the north. Manhattan Beach and the surrounding beaches were one of the original sources,of surfboarding culture. We are also on a major whale migration route. The California Gray Whales migrate north every spring from their calving grounds in Baja California in large numbers right off the coast. The Blue Whales, the largest animals on earth, are,also reappearing in the area and are regularly seen migrating off the coast. Many local boats do whale watching cruises in season. We also have a fairly large population of local dolphins who can often be seen frolicking by the piers. There are also large numbers of seals in the lical harbors and along the coast as well as brown pelicans. The area is also known for having good skin diving conditions.
Hi Chris. Great info as always. I imagine Manhattan Beach to be a larger area. But I prefer that it has a small town feel to it. Hard to decide to view the sunset from the pier or from one on the hillside restaurant. Either way the view would be spectacular. Thanks for sharing.
The view of the sunset from the hill so you can see the pier I think is the best :)
I would love to see a video on the best beaches to visit in California. I recently went to Huntington Beach and loved the lively vibe. I also really liked the dog beach nearby.
I am considering a trip to another beach in Cali soon.. just not sure which one to go to!
Thanks Sarah. I'll consider something like that as live stream
The Kettle is the best!
Mmm
In our neck of the woods now!
I would say you missed a couple of popular places as you walked down Ocean on the opposite side. Shellback across from the pizza place, the wildly popular Uncle Bill's restaurant about a block North, and Beckers bakery with big yummy muffins and cookies and more. Everything else was spot on. It's a great place to just relax, walk on the strand or just sit on the sand and enjoy the water.
Thanks for the additions dre!
Linda playa! Nice Beach! Saludos desde Argentina!
Thanks Carlos!
Why did my father always say.laputa ketepario? Boludo? La concha detumadre? is this comon..he was from Buenos Aires.
@@Mikegastaldo yes it is very common
What do you think about the Wave Manhattan beach hotel?

Be there in 2 weeks. First time to Cali.
I haven't been to manhatten beach in a while, didn't seem to change much.
Yeah.. I'd agree with that... not much change at least around the pier area
Thanks! I'm planning stay next this beach, at Ayres Hotel (they have an affordable weekly rate) or do you suggest others?
Hi Gilberto.. that hotel looks to be right off the 405 freeway.. it might be noisy. I like the Westdrift Manhattan Beach Autograph Collection if you can get a good rate.
@@YellowProductions Fantastic suggestion! I will keep on eye at the rates. Or maybe both. Thanks again!
How far is Manhattan Beach from Manhattan Village Mall? Can you walk ? How many minutes?
Is where la la land was filmed?
You're right. That beach is really wide. Must be hard to bring a lot of family beach stuff to the edge of the water.
Yeah.. You'd be dragging the wagon a long way :)
Hey there! You have done Manhattan and Redondo. What about Hermosa Beach!? :)
I shot a Hermosa video. But it was so windy that day that I didn't upload the video
I grew up in manhattan beach and fished on the pier allot in the 70's My folks grew up there too.
my dad and also my grandfather fished on the pier as far back as the late 1940's and the fishing was excellent. fishing was descent in the 70's but now it's all fished out, rarely does anyone ever
fish there anymore because it;s a waste of time, If you do miraculously catch a fish, you best throw it back because they are all toxic, there are even signs posted on the pier to not eat the fish. the water is not what it used to be, polluted from all the sewage dumped into it, and also toxic runoff from toxic bolgna creek. I guess if you want to eat at horribly over priced bars and restaurants then go for it.
Should look into Huntington Beach and Seal Beach too.
I've got walking tours on both! :)
@@YellowProductions I looked but I missed them. I am from Huntington Beach.
First:)
Well done Tim! :)
Hi!!! When are you going to Hawaii?
In June if all goes as planned :)
Hello Everybody!
Thumbs up !
Hi Minx!
"It's not commercialized?" lol
why is Manhattan beach not at Manhattan ?
Awesome video. I used to live in that area. And it’s nice to see how it’s changed. Great job doing the video. Hopefully you got a hefty fine for not wearing a mask. I just don’t get it it’s a law there. Why don’t people abide.
Hi Eye of Venture.. masks are not required outside here.. Indoors yes.. but outdoors no. So why would I get a fine?
@@YellowProductions Oh, I did not know that. Masks are required even outside where I live. And I thought in California they require a mask at all times. Here in Monterey they will find you if you’re not wearing a mask and give you a hefty fine in public areas.
I love MB. I made a similar video on my channel.
So this is Manhattan beach, in California? Not New york?
Yes.. this is in California
There are other Manhattan Beaches. This is ours, in the South Santa Monica Bay area of Los Angeles County, in Southern California, on the Pacific Ocean. We're definitely not New York.
Happy to hear this beach will be returned to their rightful owners.
Manhattan beach sucks! Can’t even drink on the beach
You can't anywhere in SoCal. Or smoke dope either. Or pass out on the beach. Or set up a tent encampment. Please go somewhere else, preferably far away from us.
@@brianmccarthy5557 🤣
Beautiful, but like most places in California there's always that pressing fear that it will become a cesspool of crime, mental illness and homelessness at some point...
Manhattan Beach tries really hard to keep that out
We love your walking tours we watch it from beginning to end. Keep up the great work😁
Awesome Mike and Kelly! Plenty more coming!
