A charming neighborhood that brims with appeal and old-world character, Manhattan Beach is among Brooklyn's many unforeseen areas. It's its own entity-- a peaceful, closed-in location that's extremely very non-Brooklyn. Bounded by Sheepshead Bay to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the east, and Brighton Beach to the west, Manhattan Beach is largely secluded from the remainder of the city. And owing to its spectacular beachfront houses, it boasts a carefree as well as resort-like ambiance.
