Book Description

Excerpt from The Story of Manhattan Beach: A Practical and Picturesque Delineation of Its History, Development and Attractions Long low spit of silvery white sand which is separated from Long Island by a narrow creek; it is beyond the portals of the upper bay, and the water that breaks in ermine surf along its shore is the pungent and undiluted brine of the Atlantic; the ripples are homogeneous with those that play in the fierce heat of Africa, and the vast basin reaching out ward has no nearer boundary than the Eastern hemisphere.
