About Sand Section
The Sand Section is the part of Manhattan Beach closest to the ocean, the blocks between the beach and the hill rising inland. Its walk streets, lanes closed to cars and lined with front gardens, run down toward the water, and almost every home is a short walk to the sand, the pier and downtown.
Housing Stock
Lots are small and close together, so homes are built up: two and three stories, roof decks, and glass toward the ocean. Most of the original beach cottages have been replaced with modern homes. Position decides value: a walk street, an ocean view, and how close the home is to the beach.
Lifestyle & Amenities
This is the most walkable corner of the South Bay. Residents walk to the beach, the pier, the shops and restaurants downtown, and the farmers market, and many leave the car in the garage all weekend.
Neighborhoods & Enclaves
Walk streets
Car-free lanes running toward the ocean, the heart of the Sand Section.
El Porto
The north end, closest to the surf break and a little more casual.
Downtown
The blocks around Manhattan Beach Boulevard and the pier.
What Sets the Market Apart
- Walk-street homes have no street parking in front; the alley garage matters.
- Views depend on height limits and the homes in front; ask what could be built next door.
- Lots are small, so a wider or double lot carries a premium.
