It was a great week to be on the beaches of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach in the early mornings, as we had low tide every day. Or at least between 5:30 a.m. and 8 a.m., when we were out with the iPhone 12 Pro, documenting the Pier to Pier action.
Here’s a sampling of what we saw, as post Labor Day found the morning light take a little longer to come out and start shining.
