In addition to beach access, Manhattan Beach offers opportunities for beachcombing, picnicking, and fishing.

Manhattan Beach is a thoroughly relaxing spot with beach access and a beautiful picnic area. Picnic tables are nestled into small cul-de-sacs surrounded by shore pine to provide a break from the wind.
