Sitting directly on The Strand, this apartment puts the Pacific almost within arm's reach – the beach is twenty-five to thirty steps from the door, and two west-facing balconies with floor-to-ceiling glass sliders frame front-row sunset views over the water. Inside, the living room looks straight out to sea, and a bright kitchen makes it pleasant to cook together between beach sessions. Cruiser bikes, beach chairs, and boogie boards are ready to grab on the way out, and Manhattan Beach's boutique shops and restaurants are around twelve-minutes' walk away.
