Manhattan Beach, California
Sunset and golden hour times for planning your evening session.
After-work glass-offs in Manhattan Beach can rival dawn patrol on good days. Afternoon thermals die, the crowd thins, and these 2 west-facing breaks catch the last clean sets of the day.

West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.
The sandbars north and south of Manhattan Beach Pier provide consistent beach-break peaks with both lefts and rights. Summer southwest swells and offshore east winds create the best conditions. The waves can be fun for intermediates but rips are common and the lineup is often crowded.
Walk down the pier or beach paths to the sand; choose a sandbar north or south of the pier depending on the crowd.
