Downtown Manhattan Beach retains the feel of California beach cities, with a pier, a vibrant restaurant and shopping district, and the centrally located library. The city is a popular destination for vacationers and overseas visitors. El Porto and the Manhattan Beach Pier are two of the premium surf breaks in Southern California, frequented by locals and professional surfers alike.
Starting as a sleepy beach town, over the years the city has attracted residents working in the defense and aerospace industries, as well as airline employees and just plain lovers of the beach lifestyle. Today the population ranges from long established residents to many sports stars (ice hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, and tennis), actors, and literary personalities. Manhattan Beach has been nicknamed the "Pearl of the South Bay" for its beauty and desirability.
