Why take this tour?

Because the best day in LA ends with sand between your toes. Sip, Sand & Stroll trades freeway traffic for ocean breezes, winding from the historic 1920 Manhattan Beach Pier to the Strand and Metlox Plaza. You'll meet the bakers, winemakers, and bartenders who give this beach town its laid-back soul, from a nearly century-old dive bar famous for its burgers to the neighborhood wine shop the locals swear by. Whether you're visiting the South Bay for the first time or you've lived here for years, it's the most delicious way to see Manhattan Beach like a local. And when the tour ends, you're steps from the sand, just in time to catch the sunset over Santa Monica Bay. Book your spot today and taste the good life, beach-town style.
