Staying near Los Angeles International Airport doesn’t mean missing the
coast. In fact, some of Los Angeles’ most well-known beach destinations
are just a short drive from Embassy Suites by Hilton LAX North . From lively
boardwalks to laid-back ocean views, Venice Beach and Manhattan Beach
offer two very different ways to spend time by the water.
Venice Beach
Venice Beach has long been one of Southern California’s most
recognizable coastal neighborhoods. The Venice Boardwalk draws visitors
from around the world with street performers, local artists, open-air shops,
and the kind of energy that makes every walk along the oceanfront feel a
little different from the last.
The area is also home to the famous Venice Skatepark, where skaters ride
bowls just steps from the sand, and the historic Muscle Beach outdoor
gym. Visitors often rent bikes and ride along the Marvin Braude Bike Trail,
which runs along the shoreline and connects Venice with neighboring
beach communities.
Between the boardwalk activity and the wide stretch of sand, Venice Beach
offers a lively setting where people-watching can be just as entertaining as
the ocean views.
Manhattan Beach
A few miles south, Manhattan Beach offers a more relaxed coastal
atmosphere. The Manhattan Beach Pier extends into the Pacific and
serves as a favorite spot for strolling, fishing, or simply taking in the sunset.
Nearby, the small Roundhouse Aquarium at the end of the pier adds a
quick educational stop for visitors exploring the waterfront.
The beach itself is known for its volleyball culture, with dozens of courts
often filled with players throughout the day. The Strand, a paved oceanfront
path that runs along the coast, is popular for walking, biking, and jogging
while enjoying views of the Pacific.
Restaurants, cafés, and boutiques in downtown Manhattan Beach make it
easy to spend an afternoon moving between the beach and the
neighborhood’s lively dining scene.
Stay Close to the Coast
One of the advantages of staying at Embassy Suites by Hilton LAX North is
the balance between airport convenience and access to nearby coastal
destinations. Los Angeles International Airport is just minutes away, and
both Venice Beach and Manhattan Beach are a short drive from the hotel.
After a day by the ocean, guests return to spacious two-room suites with
separate living and sleeping areas. A complimentary breakfast each
morning, evening reception with light snacks and beverages, and amenities
such as the indoor pool and fitness center create a comfortable place to
recharge between outings.
Whether you’re exploring the boardwalk at Venice Beach, walking along the
Manhattan Beach Pier, or simply enjoying the ocean breeze, the coast is
closer than many travelers expect when staying near the airport.
Embassy Suites LAX North makes it easy to experience both the city and
the shoreline during your visit to Los Angeles. CLICK HERE to plan your stay.
