Product description
For hosting an activity-filled day or a casual retreat, the beaches and parks of Marina del Rey are ideal venues for enjoying the year-round warm Southern California weather.
Burton W. Chace Park
13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey, CA, 90292
Jutting out into the main channel, this beautiful 10-acre park offers one of the best viewing areas of the harbor. Hit the flat, paved walking path along the perimeter for a morning walk, or relax on a bench to watch the sunset over the sparkling water. Covered picnic pavilions and a smattering of uncovered tables, all with barbecue access, make for a great family gathering.
Marina "Mother's" Beach
4135 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey, CA, 90292
This peaceful 12-acre lagoon is easy walking distance from most of the Marina’s hotels. Staffed by lifeguards seasonally, the beach has playground equipment, sheltered picnic tables, and easy access to restrooms. These amenities and the cove’s lack of surf makes it ideal for families with young kids – an attribute that inspired its local nickname, Mother’s Beach.
Playa del Rey
7313-7351 S Marine Ave, Playa Del Rey, CA 90293
Marina del Rey’s southern neighbor, Playa del Rey is a small, quiet community with a broad, low-key beach and a smattering of cafes, taverns, and boutiques nearby. The stretch of sand is technically part of Dockweiler State Beach, but this section is comparatively sleepy, perfect for those days when you want nothing but the sound of crashing waves to lull you into a midday nap in the sunshine. Playa del Rey is easily accessible from the Marina via the Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail.
Santa Monica Beach
200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA, 90405
Santa Monica’s iconic amusement pier is the focal point of this tourist hot spot. From Marina del Rey, it’s easy to bike to Santa Monica Beach on the Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail. Rent a bike at the Venice Pier and pedal about 3.5 miles north to reach the Santa Monica Pier area.
