El Porto Beach sits in front of the El Porto neighborhood in Manhattan Beach. Its consistently huge waves make it a popular destination for surfers, body surfers, and stand-up paddleboarders, and its volleyball nets attract beach volleyball aficionados.

The Marvin Braude Bike Path is paved and runs along El Porto Beach; it is open to cyclists, inline skaters, walkers, runners, and joggers.

El Porto Beach is relatively quiet, as it is a lesser-known beach; because of that it is a haven for those wishing to avoid crowded beaches.

El Port Beach has a laid-back atmosphere, lifeguards, restrooms, showers, and a restaurant.
