Some of Los Angeles’ best beaches, including Venice Beach and Santa Monica State Beach, are nearby. Charter a sport fishing outing or rent a motorboat. Enjoy some of the finest seafood and international cuisine in Los Angeles County.

The marina features stunning waterways and over 4,000 boats. Book a dinner cruise and enjoy a formal meal aboard a luxurious vessel. Rent a paddleboard, kayak or Jet Ski and explore the open seas.

Book a charter and fish for sea bass, yellowtail or halibut. Travel along Santa Monica Bay and catch some of California’s best game fish, including barracuda and white seabass. Marina del Rey also offers whale-watching charters, where you can experience the seasonal migration of the California grey whale.

This famous beach is regarded as a historic centre of creative life for the beat poets and artists of the mid-20th century, including Lawrence Lipton and Saul White. Wander along the boardwalk and watch surfers ride waves at this iconic Los Angeles beach.

Rent a bicycle and ride from Washington Square to Santa Monica Pier along the famous Venice Beach Bicycle Path. Learn to surf from a qualified surfing instructor on Santa Monica State Beach. This remarkable beach covers about 245 acres (100 hectares) of sand along the Pacific Ocean.
