"exit only" doesn't always mean what it says
Now, it would be silly for me to tell you exactly where to find the "exit only" freeway offramps are that do not actually make you exit the freeway. However, I can point you in the right direction for where to find two of them; one of them is off of the 5 South somewhere between the 134 and 110, while another one is off the 10 East somewhere between the 405 and the 110.
Good luck finding these marvelous little Easter eggs!

the scenic shortcut to manhattan beach
If you've driven to Manhatatn Beach before, you've probably encountered the slow-moving nightmare otherwise known as the 405. If you continue reading, you will find out how to bypass much of the 405, including the entire section of it around LAX.
The first thing you want to do is get to Culver Boulevard (you can reach it via any number of ways, most notably via the 90). Culver Boulevard runs diagonally, so take it southwest through Marina Del Rey and Playa Del Rey until you see a sign with an arrow pointing to "Manhattan Beach."
After you see this sign, hook slightly left onto "Vista Del Mar." Follow Vista Del Mar, which runs right along the ocean, all the way down until you reach Manhattan Beach. It is your headache to figure out where to go once you reach Manhattan Beach.
