Richard M.'s Profile

Located on a hip and cultural beach strip of coffee houses and independent shops and restaurants, and only  200 yards from the beautiful California shoreline is The Kettle of Manhattan Beach.

The Kettle is well-known for their scrumptious breakfasts and delicious hot coffee. They're open 24 hours and have a large dining area and roomy enclosed outdoor patio section which makes it a great place to enjoy a meal with a large group.  For the locals of Manhattan Beach, The Kettle is an old favorite.  It's one of my favorite places to grab a bite before hopping on a plane at LAX since it's only about six miles South of the airport.

World Market is the perfect name for this eclectic smorgasbord of rare and worldly wares.  You'll find a great selection of high quality products with everything from designer furniture and decor to local and international wine and chocolate selections. Which brings me to mentioning my number-one reason for visiting WM, and that's for the fantastic European marzipan selection.  If you're into good European chocolate and candy, you'll definitely want to swing by for a visit.  

Many of the items they carry are actually unique or hard to find items and not normally in stock at other stores, which also makes this a great place to buy your friends and family nice gifts.  

Service and atmosphere is good at this location, I've always been satisfied after my visits and purchases.

This is a premier go-to fly shop here in SoCal due to the large inventory and super knowledgeable salespeople.  It's a fly angler's and fly tier's dream fly shop filled to the gills with a super selection of tying materials,  fly rods, flies, waders, and everything you could possibly need to outfit your next freshwater or saltwater fly fishing excursion.

Bob Marriott's can also organize all of your fly fishing travel and guided fishing trip needs since they have a complete Angler's Destination Travel Center with connections to some of the hottest fly fishing lodges and outfitters in the world.

I highly recommend Bob Marriott's Fly Shop to any fly angler that lives in, or is visiting the Southern California area.  Support your local fly shops!
