Manhattan Beach Pier in June Gloom haze
If you walk north from Manhattan Beach Pier you will eventually cross under the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) flight path over the beach and ocean at Dockweiler Beach.
If you walk south, you will have the beach on your right and beachy showcase homes on the left. Canterbury Meets Manhattan Beach
McManhattanmansion, Italian style
Beach Victorian with Widow's Walk
California Stucco with Cactus tree
We are somewhat partial to the breakfast omelettes at Scotty's, also by the Hermosa Pier, where you can sit in the enclosed patio and watch the surfers and volleyball players on the beach and the bikers and walkers on The Strand.

After you walk down the steps, still following The Strand, you are in Hermosa Beach.

If you are thirsty, you can stop off for refreshment at Hennessey's across from Hermosa Beach Pier.

Very nice taking this walk on the strand with you and your camera! :0)
Quite the variety of home styles...
What a great walking tour. The photos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing :)
What an amazing array of styles all in the one area. It must be impossible to choose a favourite.
What a lovely walk, Jane x
I love it! What a great tour of the beaches -- those houses are huge!
Loved this post... you are so thoughtful to tell us what's on the right and left... makes it easier to imagine.. your photos are wonderful...
I love Scotty's.
Good reminder, we need to get there again someday soon.
I remember that walk or at least some of it! What an array of homes, landscape and interesting things to see!!
I would love a stroll there, something about the sea and everything else that makes one dreamy. Have a great week.
I enjoyed my virtual walk along the "prom" as we call it in Britain. I do love to be beside the seaside!
Mug Monday was fun but I don't think I could spare the time to organize one every week, I would never get any work done.! But please thank you friend for the suggestion. There is of course no reason why other bloggers could not carry on with the idea.
Thanks for these. I love getting further views of your area.
Sorry Sara was not well enought to meet with you.
Those beach walks are the best parts.
Except I would have trouble not stopping at all those shops.
Our like your European architecture.
I thought I was back in Italy.
Interesting. I've never perused the coastline that way. I so agree with your observation on Manhattan Beach, it has a very decided English flare. It also has a wonderful Rocky Mountain Chocolate Shop :)
Some great images there - thanks for the tour.
(And I'm glad your husband liked the Spitfire post, too.)
You are a beach expert! I love the beach too.
But if you asked me which I liked better...the beach or the mountains...it would be a hard choice!
Hello Willow....
Enjoyed your beach walk and what a great variety of architecture along the way.
Hmmm! think I just go over to Hennessey’s Tavern.... omelettes for breakfast sounds just fine at 8 am on this Friday morning.
