A seaside enclave in Southern California and only 4 miles north of Los Angeles International Airport, Marina del Rey is where visitors go to discover the heart of the Los Angeles coastline. 

As one of the largest man-made small-craft harbors in the world, L.A.’s Marina offers myriad restaurants and hotels in a unique urban oasis. Visitors enjoy year-round California coastal sunshine and ocean breezes with waterfront dining, on-the-water recreation, and six contemporary hotels that line the water’s edge. The world-famous Venice Beach is right next door, yet Marina del Rey remains tucked away in the area known as the Westside—making it an ideal destination for a truly relaxing and restorative coastal getaway.

Adventure-seekers and fitness enthusiasts can dive into on-the-water fun, such as chartered sailing excursions, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, paddleboard yoga and more. Marina del Rey is the closest pick-up point in Los Angeles for sportfishing, whale watching, and parasailing trips, all of which head out onto Santa Monica Bay. Hop on a beach cruiser and follow the 22-mile bike path that wraps around the Marina and hugs the beaches to the north and south.

Diners tend to stay awhile at local restaurants, enthralled by the views of luxury yachts and romantic sunsets. Large picture windows and outdoor dining patios at Cast & Plow, Tony P’s Dockside Grill, and Beachside boast some of the best views in town. Or, enjoy brunch, lunch or dinner on the water and take in the sights on a dining cruise with live entertainment and dancing under the stars.

Marina del Rey is experiencing a resurgence as new waterfront developments are underway including new hotel, retail and dining options scheduled to open in late 2020. The seaside community will soon welcome the opening of two new hotels and a new retail specialty center in the heart of the Marina.

There’s no better place to unwind than in Marina del Rey…the crown jewel of Los Angeles.
