Manhattan Beach is one of the few neighborhoods in Los Angeles that truly makes you feel like you're on vacation—er, staycation. Yes, our city is blessed with quite a few scenic towns alongside our best beaches, but there's something about the freckle-faced, flip-flopped, unselfconscious vibes of Manhattan Beach that transport you farther from the cosmopolitan bustle than any other zip code. Believe it or not, there's more to do in Manhattan Beach than hang ten all day (though there's certainly nothing wrong with that). It also boasts an eclectic array of boutiques: whether you're looking to restock your swimsuit drawer, score a new funboard or support your local indie bookstore, here are the best places for shopping in Manhattan Beach.
