At its northeast end in Manhattan Beach, the greenbelt begins inauspiciously beneath an overpass. A short section of track is still visible in the parking lot of a nearby big-box electronics store, a remnant of the Santa Fe railroad line first built in 1888 that the trail follows.
The Manhattan Beach section, known as the Veteran’s Parkway, runs through upscale suburban neighborhoods that give little hint of their proximity to the beach. The trail’s sandiness is a reminder, though, that this area just south of L.A.’s west side was once coastal dunes.
