Marina del Rey

Marina del Rey is the largest harbor for small craft in North America, with more than 5,000 yachts and small boats docked at any given time. Even if you don't have a luxury cruiser, you can rent a paddleboard or kayak and enjoy the calm waters, or go for a bike ride or walk along the harbor. The area is lined with luxury hotels and condominiums, making it a convenient base for sightseeing in Los Angeles.

Santa Monica

Near the beach, there is a pier with stores and cafes and an amusement park, which is always crowded with people. Whether you are looking for souvenirs or just want to indulge in some seafood, this is an area where you can have fun all day long.
