Manhattan Beach Pier, 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 on the pier to see the sun set over the Pacific includes a holiday light display. At the end of the pier is the Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab and Aquarium, where visitors can see some of the types of fish that swim in the surf below. Maybe Santa will bring the fish something nice this year.
