Please note: “Black Life at Bruce’s Beach” is postponed due to the recent storm, which has impacted the ocean water quality in our region. We will notify you when the program has been rescheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

In conjunction with Black California Dreamin’, head to the Manhattan Beach coast for a family day of history and beach fun. Join Culture Club South Bay as they share the history of Bruce’s Beach—originally an African American beach resort—and offer free surfing lessons and volleyball! Lessons and activities are first-come, first-served and for safety will be capped at sixty (60) participants.
