Sand Dune Reopens with Reservation System
The implementation of the reservation system is expected to help keep the use of the Sand Dune at a sustainable level for the neighborhood and reduce maintenance costs. The next time you visit the Sand Dune, you may also notice some fencing along the north edge that is in place to protect a vegetative colony of a native, but very rare, flower called the Orcutt’s Yellow Pincushion. The Manhattan Beach Sand Dune Park is a treasure for many people and purposes and we hope that you will use and enjoy it respectfully! To make your reservation today, click on the button below.

This park acquired its name from the 100-foot high sand dune located there. It is a favorite destination for kids of all ages. Steps and switchbacks lead up into the nature area as a trail that provides different ways to reach the top. The trail winds through plant life and provides an interesting and educational nature walk. The top of the dune provides a panoramic east-facing view of the City.
This three-acre park also includes a fenced small children's play area with swings, merry-go-round and climbing equipment. The park has shaded picnic facilities for about 20 people each, an open pavilion and two picnic tables. Restrooms and drinking fountains are also available.
Dogs are permitted on leash along the designated walking area east of the tot lot and along cement walkways as posted.
