About Marina del Rey

Marina del Rey is built around one of the largest man-made marinas in the world, and its waterfront is free to enjoy: Burton Chace Park, Mother's Beach, the Marvin Braude bike path and a string of pocket parks along the channels.

It's a relaxed, watery edge of the Westside, with free harbor views, paddling-friendly beaches and a paved path that runs all the way up the coast.
