 Marina
del Rey: A Nautical Paradise in West Los Angeles |
| |
|
|
Located
10 minutes north of Los Angeles International Airport,
at the center of L.A.’s popular Westside, Marina
del Rey’s sparkling water and gentle breezes invite
respite from the city’s chaotic bustle. As one of
the largest man-made pleasure craft harbors in the world,
“the Marina” offers stylish restaurants and
chic hotels in a unique urban oasis, and almost unlimited
on-the-water opportunities. The community is popular for
regional weekend getaways, a perfect base for L.A.-bound
leisure and business travelers, and as a convenient stay-over
option for in-transit travelers through LAX.
Known as one of the most desirable communities to live
on the Westside, Marina del Rey’s waterfront is
clustered with high-quality apartments and condominiums,
most with water views. The community’s freeway close
and central location makes it easy to get to nearby Santa
Monica, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills and Century City.
For visitors, there are more than 1,000 hotel rooms, and
most offer panoramic harborfront rooms. Many of the community’s
53 full-service restaurants are scattered along the harbor,
providing great views and even greater sunsets. Restaurants
here are known for extravagant weekend brunches and year-round
outdoor dining.
As the center of recreational boating in Los Angeles,
Marina del Rey is a great place for those who want to
stroll along the waterfront and gaze at luxurious yachts
and bobbing sailboats. But more than just looking at boats,
this is one of the few places in L.A. where people can
actually get out on the water. This casual enclave offers
non-stop recreational boating opportunities, including
boat rentals, private charters, dinner cruises, public
fishing trips, cocktail cruises, yacht clubs and sailing
associations.
Marina del Rey is home to a number of annual festivals,
shows and parades, including the In-Water Boat Show, Holiday
Boat Parade, Discover Marina del Rey Day and an ambitious
summer outdoor concert series. |
