You can’t have a home in Manhattan Beach any closer to the ocean! A wide cement walkway, referred to as “The Strand,” runs the length of Manhattan Beach along the beachfront. It is popular with joggers and dog walkers, as well as tourists out for a stroll. A separate bike path runs parallel to The Strand. Listings for Strand homes often note their whitewater view, since they can see the breaking surf not just the distant ocean. There are few older beach cottages still left along The Strand. Most of the original bungalows on these desirable lots have been replaced by newer homes on a grander scale.
