Manhattan Beach is located just 3 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport on the Santa Monica Bay. It is one of the South Bays three beach communities and features a pier with its own aquarium. Manhattan Beach is home to an interesting population of tourists, rag-tag surfers, middle class commuters, and jet set millionaires. Fortunately, the amazing mix of bars and restaurants have something for everyone’s taste and budget.
For the past couple months, Target stores in the South Bay have been shuffling stock from one part of the store to another, only to move it back a couple days later. What’s all the fuss about? They’re making room for groceries.
