Marina del Rey
About
Marina del Rey, just south of Venice, is one of the largest man-made small-craft harbors in North America, packed with yachts and sailboats. Waterfront paths, hotels and restaurants line the basins, Mother's Beach is a calm little beach inside the harbor, and you can rent paddleboards and kayaks. Close to LAX and quieter than Santa Monica: a good beach base.
Jasmine says
Want to stay by the ocean but somewhere a bit quieter?
I'd say: Marina del Rey.
A yacht harbor, a waterfront path, ten minutes from LAX,
a red-eye's best friend.
Walk a loop around the harbor at dusk;
the masts and the sunset are the whole itinerary.
A quiet coastal base with a marina, close to LAX.
