Manhattan Beach Farmers Market to the Pier: A Tuesday Outing

Start with a lap around the farmers market, pick a lunch stop downtown, then walk down Manhattan Beach Boulevard to the pier. You can do all three without moving your car.

Start at Civic Center Plaza

The Downtown Manhattan Beach Certified Farmers’ Market runs Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Civic Center parking lot and plaza, at 320 15th Street, next to City Hall and the Police/Fire facility. Check the organizer before you head out for holiday changes and vendor updates. Bring a reusable bag and shop for produce last if you plan to spend time in the sun.

Pick lunch or head straight to the water

Try Simmzy’s for a casual stop or Fishing With Dynamite if you want seafood. Both appear in the downtown dining directory. Check the restaurant’s hours before you go, especially on a holiday week.

Walk to Manhattan Beach Pier

From the Civic Center, head toward Manhattan Beach Boulevard on downtown sidewalks, then follow the boulevard downhill toward the ocean. Stop at the pier for the view. If you have more time, continue south on the Strand toward Hermosa Beach and use our food guide to plan the next stop.
