Facility Overview
The 224 36th Pl Garage is a strategically located parking facility situated in the heart of the vibrant Manhattan Beach community. This location provides essential off-street parking for residents and visitors exploring the coastal charm of the South Bay. The facility is primarily designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and mid-size trucks. Drivers should be mindful that as a local beach-area structure, clearance heights may be standard, and while compact and mid-size vehicles will find maneuvering straightforward, larger commercial high-roof vans or oversized trailers should exercise caution regarding vertical limitations.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This garage serves as an ideal anchor point for those looking to experience the iconic Manhattan Beach lifestyle. Located just a short stroll from the world-famous Manhattan Beach Pier and the sprawling sandy coastline, it is the perfect base for beachgoers and surf enthusiasts. Visitors are within walking distance of the upscale boutiques, vibrant cafes, and fine dining establishments that line Manhattan Avenue and Highland Avenue. The facility is also conveniently situated near the lush Greenbelt park space, offering a scenic route for walking and cycling.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The garage features accessible ingress and egress points designed to integrate with the local traffic flow of 36th Place. Drivers arriving via major arterial roads like Sepulveda Boulevard (Highway 1) will find the facility easily reachable. While Manhattan Beach is a highly walkable community, the location is well-positioned for those utilizing rideshare services or local shuttle connections to explore neighboring Hermosa or El Segundo beaches. During peak weekend hours and sunny summer days, we recommend approaching the area via Valley Drive to avoid heavy congestion directly along the oceanfront.
