| The Roundhouse, a small building at the tip of Manhattan Beach Pier, is home to a casual and informative exhibit of Santa Monica Bay’s native flora and fauna. Docents are eager to talk about the creatures in the aquaria and touch tanks. Programs for children are offered, including a “Sleep with the Sharks” slumber party, Sea Story time, and Discovery Hour, so call before you visit to find out what’s going on. The Roundhouse is available by reservation for birthday parties or field trips.
Parking/Restrooms
Enter the beach/pier parking lot at the end of either Rosecrans Avenue or Manhattan Beach Boulevard. Blue spaces are at the north end of the lot and at the base of the pier. Restrooms along the bike path have good access, but the tile in the showers is slippery. The Roundhouse has accessible restrooms and a lift to the second floor.
