Marina Del Rey
Marina del Rey is LA County's largest small-craft harbor, tucked between Venice Beach and Playa del Vista just 20 minutes from LAX. You'll find a full-service marina with slips, boat rentals, waterfront restaurants, and hotels right on the water — all wrapped in that laid-back coastal Southern California vibe. The Santa Monica Pier is a short cruise up the coast, and the surrounding area is packed with shops, parks, and nightlife if you want to stretch your legs on land.
