As the largest small-boat harbour in the US, Marina del Rey is boating heaven. This is a harbour fit for a queen.

Many people visiting Marina del Rey come for sailing, a harbour cruise, kayaking or even parasailing. That’s all recommended, but there’s a lot more to do if you leave the hamlet. Burton W. Chace Park is perfect for landlubbers, with nice marina views and free concerts in the warmer months. Waterside restaurants and shops keep the whole family happy and famous Venice Beach is just around the corner.
