BEST DAY EVER AT MANHATTAN BEACH

July 27, 2015 • 41 Comments

On Saturday, my room mate Carolyn and I had like the best day ever at Manhattan Beach. I swam in the Pacific Ocean for the first time ever!! It wasn’t as cold as I expected it to be.

I still cannot fathom that I live less than 45 minutes away from the beach. Growing up in Ohio, the beach was always a 12 hour death drive away. Now I can load up a cooler at lunch time, chill at the beach all afternoon, and be home for dinner. #mindblown

I feel like I’m not even good at photography. Honestly, these pictures just take themselves. California is so beautiful that I actually feel guilty sharing this stuff. Is that weird?

Anyhow, Manhattan Beach is a really cool & classy little town. There’s tons of restaurants and the beach was nice and clean. Also, because it’s located a bit more south than Santa Monica and Venice, it’s less of a clustercuss driving back to Hollywood and Downtown. I’m definitely going to go back!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS Carolyn and I are looking for an apartment so send us some good vibes!

Where’s your favorite beach?
