Summer and event weekends
Summer brings beach crowds, and community events such as the Manhattan Beach Open volleyball tournament and the October Hometown Fair fill downtown. Businesses near the pier often add officers for those days to watch their doors and patios.

Longer service agreements usually cost less per hour, and requests with less than 7 days’ notice carry an upcharge.
