Visitors enjoy the year-round sunny weather and ocean breeze with

waterfront dining, on-the-water recreation, and six contemporary hotels that line the water’s edge. What’s more? Its prime coastal location is just steps from its world-famous neighbors, Venice Beach and Santa Monica. And with easy access to major freeways (read: popular tourist attractions), Marina del Rey is minutes away from all the excitement of Los Angeles.

With restaurants that hug the harbor, be ready to dine against a backdrop of open air, luxury yachts, and sparkling waters. Restaurants like Beachside, Café del Rey, and Whiskey Red’s offer expansive views of the Marina del Rey waterfront. Cast & Plow at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey serves farm-to-table cuisine on its outdoor terrace that sits directly across from yachts and a waterfront promenade. Marina del Rey is also the only place in Los Angeles to “Dock & Dine.” With the public dock at Killer Shrimp Restaurant, groups can paddleboard, kayak, or boat to their favorite meal (happy hour included). Want to dine on the water? Hornblower Cruises offers champagne brunch and dinner dance cruises weekly.

Marina del Rey’s waterfront location offers unique activities that visitors can enjoy year-round. The 22-mile Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Path that stretches from Pacific Palisades to Torrance winds through the

Marina, making it easy to hop on and enjoy the endless beach views. On-the-water activities like stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, and sailing keep the Marina waters active. Boat rentals are a fun way to enjoy the water, whether it’s a picnic lunch aboard a duffy boat or a high-speed power boat that breaks out onto the Pacific. Skippered boat charters are another relaxing way to see the coastline.

A visit to Marina del Rey can take you to new heights (literally) with a parasailing excursion that soars high above the ocean for some of the best views of Los Angeles. City sightseening tours like Starline’s Hop-On, Hop-Off takes guests to Venice Beach, Santa Barbara and other LA attractions.

Looking for an adventure closer to sea? Marina del Rey Sportfishing takes groups out on the Santa Monica Bay for a fishing excursion. Paddleboard yoga is another hot activity that’s making a splash across the Marina waters. Classes at YOGAqua are offered weekly and continue to grow.

ready to make a splash in la’s premier waterfront destination? Go to visitmarinadelrey.com.

marina del rey’s

Boating, dining, entertainment, cool breezes and picturesque harbor views — Marina del Rey’s Fisherman’s Village has it all.

You’ll find the best waterfront views of Marina del Rey’s main channel, busy with boats coming and going. At its docks are recreational rentals, charter vessels, seasonal whale watching and water taxi, and a commercial fishing fleet. Nearby vessels include the harbor patrol, US Coast Guard, and county lifeguard rescue boats made famous in the TV series, Baywatch. Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Cape Cod are brought to life architecturally with colorful structures and an iconic lighthouse. Pelicans, seals and sunsets abound. Bring camera!

Popular weekend concerts are presented in the lighthouse courtyard, surrounded with food concessions. Sapori Restaurant offers exquisite Italian cuisine, beautifully presented, with views of the harbor from inside and from its outdoor dining patio. The popular El Torito offers margueritas and mexican cuisine.

On the docks, Marina del Rey Boat Rentals offers humanpowered stand-up paddle boards, kayaks and small sailboats, as well as powerboats, jet skis, and quiet electric ‘Duffy’ boats. For spectacular views of Santa Monica Bay, book a ride with Marina del Rey Parasailing.

Marina del Rey Sportfishing offers daily fishing trips and seasonal whale-watching. Larger groups celebrate special occasions aboard elegant party charter vessels operated by Tiki Mermaid and Hornblower Cruises.

For fun and scenic exercise, peddle a portion of the Marvin Braude Bike Path. The 22-mile route goes right by Fisherman’s Village, about a mile north of midpoint. Daniel’s Bike Rentals can assist with equipment.

Marina del Rey Historical Society tells the story of Marina del Rey’s creation and with an exhibit at its History Gallery, and in Images of America: Marina del Rey, its newly released book available for purchase, along with photos, DVDs, T-shirts and more. For narrated Marina history, take Starline Tours’ narrated Hop-On Hop-Off buses.

Fisherman’s Village retail shops offer great souvenirs, handmade items and ECO-friendly merchandise.

During summer months, the Marina del Rey Waterbus ferries passengers around the harbor, and a landward Beach Shuttle connects the Village with the rest of Marina del Rey, Venice Pier, and Playa Vista. From downtown Los Angeles, visitors can take Metro Expo Line light rail to Culver City station. From there, Culver CityBus Line 7 goes directly to Fisherman’s Village.


Whether a visitor or resident, Marina del Rey offers free, fun events year-round. Annual traditions like the 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, the Summer Concert Series, and Holiday Boat parade draw huge crowds while seasonal events like “Beach eats” and the Sunset Sailing Regatta Races are local favorites.
