Featuring more than 80 establishments – ranging from large department stores and small boutiques to restaurants and electronics stores – the Manhattan Village Mall has it all. With a large, convenient parking lot, shoppers can visit for some retail therapy, to dine or just to make a quick stop at the bank.
The mall also participates in community events – in January, South Bay residents flocked to the mall for the Manhattan Beach Centennial Carnival, which featured face painters, stilt walkers and historical photos and Santa Claus is welcomed each winter by the Mira Costa marching band.
