Place to see: Manhattan Beach Pier, Manhattan Beach, California, United States

About this place:

This pier is the centerpiece for a lot of the beach life in Manhattan Beach. Its a regular surf spot, there is a steady stream of joggers, bikers, and walkers along the strand, and the beach there is famous for its beach volleyball. If you walk out the pier, you can see plaques recognizing all the past winners of the annual Manhattan Beach Open, beach volleyball's greatest tournament. Then on the end of the pier is the small Roundhouse Aquarium .
