Manhattan Beach
Description
Though Manhattan Beach was originally conceived as an exclusive and private vacation spot for the wealthy, it is now a welcoming (and free!) nearby alternative to Coney Island. Manhattan Beach Park is almost as lively, with two playgrounds and two baseball fields, plus volleyball, tennis, basketball and handball courts. So if you're heading to this beach, don't forget your sunblock—or your sneakers.
