North Jetty Promenade and Marina Peninsula
Visit this narrow strip for spectacular views of the Marina's main channel. The lovely adjacent neighborhood offers a path parallel to the Grand Canal, footbridge to the beach, and an inviting oceanfront walk. -
Self-Guided Walks
Whether you have an hour or a day, it’s easy to explore the Marina through a series of self-guided walks created by the visitors bureau.
