Manhattan Beach
Free parking, but not for many cars. Nice beach during low tide, with tide pools and great views if you walk to the right. It seems like there will not be much walking space on the beach during high tide. The beech sits in the middle of Half Moon Bay Coastal Trail (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/half-moon-bay-coastal-trail--2) which is a nice dog friendly paved walk mostly along the Ritz Carlton Hotel golf course with nice ocean views. The trail starts at Redondo Beach and ends at the end of the golf course.

Poplar Beach
Paid parking or street parking. Nice big beach with many dogs. More people near the entrance, but a few as you start going left. You can walk up to Redondo beach, where it ends with rocks and tide pools that block further access.

Wavecrest / Redondo Beach
Very uneven dirt parking lot or you can park along the Redondo Rd. If you manage to go down, which is very challenging, you can walk to the right towards Poplar beach. This parking lot is a start of the Half Moon Bay Coastal Trail (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/half-moon-bay-coastal-trail--2) which is a nice dog friendly paved walk mostly along the Ritz Carlton Hotel golf course with nice ocean views.
