Manhattan Beach Pier in Manhattan Beach, California
The first pier at this location was built in 1901 but was destroyed by a storm in 1913. It was replaced in 1920 and went through several changes before a restoration to its 1920 design in 1992. This time of year, a walk down the pier to see the sun set over the Pacific means walking back to shore with this holiday light display putting a seasonal glow on the pier. Under the ‘tree’ at the end of the pier is the Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab Aquarium, where visitors can see some of the fish that live in the surf below. Maybe Santa will bring the fish something nice this year.
