Where and What Is Marina del Rey?
Marina del Rey is a small, dynamic community right on the ocean in Los Angeles County, California. Lovers of water sports, boating, shopping, and even bicycling love to visit here.
The marina itself houses about 5,000 boats and is the biggest man-made harbor in North America. Marina del Rey is known all over Los Angeles as the place to go for beautiful coastal parks, fashionable boutiques, tours, hiking and biking trails, and entertainment events.
What Can Families Do in Marina del Rey?
There’s fun to be had for mom, dad, and kids here. For a day of shopping, stroll over to the Waterside, an open-air mail, to enjoy upscale clothing stores, health food stores, restaurants, outdoor eating, services, and more.
Take your kids for a walk in the Aubrey E. Austin Jr. Park, at the ocean end of Marina del Rey. They can even fish off the North Jetty there.
If you’re adventurous, take a sailing class or row with the canoe club. There are a variety of clubs and programs for families of all skill levels to get onto the water via boat. Then, you can finish each day with a family dinner at a restaurant, such as the The Cheesecake Factory.
