The Manhattan Beach Bikini was developed to serve the athlete in all of us! It is a simple yet stylish athletic cheeky brief that is meant to stay put as you celebrate the summer in joyful movement.
Movement and athleticism define Manhattan Beach, CA. One cannot walk two steps without crossing paths with sun kissed surfers, making way for bicyclists along The Strand, or my favorite thing: without hearing the staccato drumming of volleyballs against the arms and hands of players as they dig and dive in the sand.
This pattern includes two variations, however, the possibilities are endless for ways in which you can truly make this bikini your own! It is a basic sporty bikini that features a cheeky cut (35% to 40% glute coverage).
