My Manhattan Beach

Beauty, design and style are central to who Valerie Sartini, owner of Treasures Interior Design, is. She has lived and worked in Manhattan Beach for three decades—creating magic for clients as she mixes their vision with her expertise to transform local homes. “The thing I love most is that our bubble still has a small-town feel,” she says. “Community, tradition, family and the wonderful events here make Manhattan Beach quaint and special.”

Date Night

Slay is cozy, warm and romantic with fun, inventive cocktails and beautiful design—dark blue walls combined with leather seating.

Cozy Café

Un Caffè Altamura is my go-to spot for a fresh, healthy meal. The art is interesting, and the service is great. Such a nice place to be!

Hidden Gem

Right Tribe’s inventory is funky, eclectic and crazy creative—such a pleasure to stroll in, poke around and find the perfect hostess gift or treasure for a friend. The owners are wonderful people!

Best Workout

I love the stairs at Sand Dune Park. It’s a hard workout, but I’m surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful views! Often I see friends there—it’s a community and truly unique to Manhattan Beach.

Gift Shop

I adore Dacha. They have a beautiful eye and the right mix of antique and contemporary. The finds are unique—with artists you won’t see everywhere—and they continually refresh the inventory.
