  1. It’s California. We don’t have the salt smell in the air.You can’t tell the topography from most aearil maps on the internet. Manhattan Beach is basically divided by a ridge parelleling the ocean. The houses on the ocean side of the ridge are stacked going up a hill. So unless you own the house right on the beach (called The Strand), you are looking over the houses lower on the hill between you and the beach. On the inland side of the ridge is the “tree section”, which is a cool neighborhood in it’s own right but does not have ocean views. Rosecrans Ave runs along a ridge to the north. The refinery is in El Segundo below the ridge. You don’t get any smell and don’t even see it unless you go look for it.Aerial maps don’t tell the whole story. The refinery (which is in El Segundo, BTW) isn’t visible
