18. not 2Beach


So you are not such a big fan of the surf and sand.  What oh what else can you do if you find yourself in Manhattan Beach?

How about a massage?  There is Trilogy Spa on the 2nd floor of the building in this photo (taken at the corner of Valley/Ardmore and Manhattan Beach Boulevard).

There are a number of excellent restaurants.

Downtown Manhattan Beach is an equal opportunity coffee house placement zone.  Here you will find Starbucks, Peets Coffee and Tea, and The Coffee Bean.

Maybe Jamba Juice or Noah's Bagels is more your speed.

Maybe you are an ice cream fan.  Choose between Cold Stone Creamery or  Manhattan Beach's very own Manhattan Beach Creamery.

Are you a little more artsy?  Paint pottery at the Color Me Mine.

Find out a bit about Manhattan Beach's Metlox Pottery history at the Metlox Town Plaza


Or get your shop on. 

Manhattan Beach is home of Skechers HQ. 

You will also find an American Apparel, Diane's and many other fine shopping experiences.

Downtown Manhattan Beach also boasts a grocery store, Von's, across from the Metlox Town Plaza.

One thing you will find little of (at least in walking distance) is overnight accommodations.  Shade Hotel provides the only overnight accommodations in downtown Manhattan Beach.

Of course, as I mention in my 2Beach blog post, T. Harv Eker teaches that the poor tend to think "or" while the rich tend to think "and".  If you are looking for a great weekend getaway, Manhattan Beach certainly offers much in the way of 2Beach AND not 2Beach.

Who knows?  Maybe I'll see you there.
