Marina Del Rey

If you are looking to escape Los Angeles’ hectic pace, then soak up the sea air and scenery in Marina Del Rey. Located southeast of Venice, this tiny seaside community is famous for refreshing the senses and restoring the spirit.

Naturally, this marina is famous for its water sports. Rent a motor boat or kayak then head on out to open waters where you can swim, dive or fish. For the slightly more adventurous, this beautiful area offers an abundance of boat tours, sailing classes and sailboat rentals.

There’s plenty for landlubbers to do as well. Check out the scenery while biking along the Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail, go on a bird watching tour or stroll along with Burke Marina Walk Promenade. At first glance Fisherman’s Village may seem like a replica of a small New England fishing town, but look more closely and you will discover boutiques, galleries and restaurants.

Shop to your heart’s content in this pleasant seaside community. The Waterside’s trendy stores are filled with the elegant clothes, jewelry and accessories while the Marina Marketplace offers a wide selection of cute shops, restaurants and movie theaters. After dark, take in all of the area’s waterside nightlife. Relax and enjoy a romantic harbor dining cruise at sunset, dance the night away at the Marina Del Rey Hotel or catch a comedy act or adult magic show at the Warehouse. And of course, there’s the Glow Lounge which offers great drinks with plenty of outdoor ambiance.

If you are seeking a picturesque community with plenty to offer its residents and guests, there’s no doubt you’ll enjoy Marina Del Rey.
