Facility Overview
The Manhattan Beach Jail operates inside the Manhattan Beach Police Department at 420 15th Street, in the civic center just up the hill from the pier and the downtown strip.
It books and briefly holds arrests made by Manhattan Beach officers — identification, prints, warrant checks, and a bed for the hours before either a bail release or a transfer into Los Angeles County custody.
Much of the volume here comes out of the beach and nightlife corridor, which means a lot of bookings arrive late and clear in the small hours. That is a normal night for us and a bad one for a family waiting on a phone call.
No case is heard at this address and no bail is accepted at a court counter. The bond goes to the facility physically holding the defendant.

Hours & Visiting
Visiting runs on a scheduled, restricted calendar. Bail posting at Manhattan Beach Jail does not — a bond can be accepted at any hour of any day.
| Bail bonds accepted | 24 hours a day, 7 days a week |
|---|---|
| Police department front counter | Staffed around the clock for custody inquiries |
| Booking to bailable | Commonly a few hours once records checks clear |
| Typical local release | Often within a couple of hours of the bond being accepted |
| Midnight Bail Bonds | Open 24 hours, every day |
Court hours and jail hours are separate systems. The Torrance courthouse keeps weekday business hours; a bond is accepted here overnight and on holidays.
Booking must clear before anything posts. That is the usual reason a family is asked to wait after an arrest.
Transfers run on the Sheriff's schedule, not on request. Once one leaves, the release point moves downtown.
Weekend nights near the pier run heavy. A slow booking queue is a queue problem, not a bail problem.

Booking & Custody Process
From a Manhattan Beach arrest to a release on 15th Street.
Arrest By Manhattan Beach PD
The arrestee is transported to the police department at 420 15th St, where city custody and booking begin.
Booking & Records Checks
Photograph, fingerprints, identification, and warrant checks must clear before a bond can be accepted.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
The amount comes from the Los Angeles County bail schedule for the booked charge and is postable right away.
Local Posting Window
Posting while Manhattan Beach PD holds custody produces a release from this building, typically the same night.
County Transfer
Without a bond, custody passes to the Sheriff's Department: men to the Inmate Reception Center downtown, women to Century Regional in Lynwood.
Release Or Court Transport
A bailed defendant leaves with a court date in Torrance. A defendant still in custody is bused there and returned afterward.
How To Post Bail At Manhattan Beach Jail
Premium on a California bail bond is set by the rate filed with the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, the starting figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court bail schedule, and review or reduction runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
Bail on a Manhattan Beach arrest is set at booking under the county schedule. No hearing is required and no courtroom has to be open.
Where the bond lands decides the drive. Posted here it is a short walk to the car; posted after the transfer it is a downtown discharge and an hour back down the 405.
Arraignment is the first judicial review of the amount — it can be kept, raised, reduced, or replaced with own-recognizance release, and either side can move to revisit bail later.
Call with a full legal name and date of birth. We confirm the booking and facility, verify the amount, and post at any hour — 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written at Manhattan Beach Jail stays live through every appearance until the case resolves. A missed date can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.

Nearby Courthouse
Once booking clears here, the case moves inland. Manhattan Beach has no courthouse, and the Southwest District's Torrance building carries the calendar for the beach cities.
Torrance Courthouse
825 Maple Ave, Torrance, CA 90503
The courthouse whose official jurisdiction includes Manhattan Beach, alongside Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Gardena, and Lawndale. Once booking clears on 15th Street, the first appearance is calendared there, and a defendant still in custody is transported in rather than released to it.

The courthouse just north, covering Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lawndale, and Gardena. Not the Manhattan Beach assignment, but the neighboring South Bay criminal location.
