Marina del Rey
Tucked between Venice Beach and Playa del Rey, Marina del Rey is the largest man-made small craft harbor on the West Coast, offering miles of protected waterways right in the heart of LA County. It's got a genuinely lively energy, with waterfront restaurants, hotels, and parks all woven into the marina's layout, so there's plenty to do beyond the water itself. The surrounding area gives you easy access to both the laid-back Venice Beach scene and the quieter Playa del Rey stretch of coastline.
