Where is the shuttle parking?
Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk is offering a FREE public shuttle from two remote parking lots for those attending the event on Sunday, October 20. The shuttle will run from 6:30 am to 1:30 pm from two separate lots:
- Northrop Grumman Parking Lot “R2”
One Space Park Drive
Redondo Beach, CA 90278
- Kinecta Federal Credit Union
1440 Rosecrans Avenue
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
The parking lots will be open and free to all users (subject to space availability). The shuttles will run continuously during the hours of operation. Please allow 15-20 minutes for each shuttle to loop. The drop-off location is in front of the Public Library at City Hall (1400 Highland Avenue), Manhattan Beach, CA. The event site is a short 5-minute walk down the hill.
As many of you know, parking at the beach can be challenging. Arrive early for spots on Manhattan Avenue and check this site for lot information: www.downtownmanhattanbeach.com/mapparking. Please note: Manhattan Beach Boulevard will be closed from the Pier to Manhattan Avenue for the Pumpkin Races!
Is ADA parking available?
Due to street and parking lot closures, ADA parking can be challenging. However, the parking link shows a number of options on the map: www.downtownmanhattanbeach.com/mapparking. The earlier your arrival, the more choices you will have, so plan ahead!
Where do I park?
As many of you know, parking at the beach can be challenging. If you have the ability to walk or bike, we encourage that. If driving, arrive early for spots and check the Downtown Manhattan Beach parking lot webpage for specific parking lot locations. Shuttle details from perimeter parking lots outside of the downtown area will be shared closer to event date. Please note: Manhattan Beach Boulevard will be closed from the Pier to Manhattan Avenue for the Pumpkin Races!
What time does the walk start?
Check-in and registration begins at the Manhattan Beach Pier. Come early to visit the Kids Zone and exhibitors. The stage program begins at 9am and will feature exciting, high-energy performances. The Walk will begin at the conclusion of the program at approximately 9:30 am.
