Located in quaint North Manhattan Beach, El Porto is the heart of Southern California surfer culture. Smaller and less developed than Manhattan County Beach, El Porto is unbelievably peaceful and offers beachgoers a frill-free and unpretentious beach day.

When you ask a Manhattan Beach native about El Porto, she’ll probably commend its beauty. The beach is wide and sandy, with clear turquoise waters, a backdrop of architecturally unique mansions, and a dramatic shoreline sporting panoramic views of the Los Angeles coast. Unlike Los Angeles’ other beaches which are known for sporting large and sometimes messy crowds, North Beach isn’t nearly as packed. Its lack of crowds preserves its natural and serene settings and makes parking on the street a breeze. El Porto’s beauty, serenity, and convenience make it a destination for families and friends looking to lounge on the beach and decompress.
