Marina Del Rey is an exciting city built around the largest man-made marina in the world, and just 10 minutes north of Los Angeles Airport! With this superb location, Marina del Rey is a hot spot for tourists! For a vacation right on the beach, yet near the major attractions of Los Angeles, Marina del Rey can’t be beat for convenience. The city of Marina del Rey is said to have more restaurants packed into one square mile than any other city except New York! There are also world class shopping, countless lodging accommodations, and tour services to Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Century City. Marina del Rey sits right across from famous Venice Beach where you’ll find a wide stretch of beach and an oceanside path for walking, biking or roller-skating. Sport fishing is also popular from Marina del Rey, where you can charter a boat or take an ocean excursion for whale watching. Marina del Rey is home to Fisherman’s Village, a New England style area with cobblestone paths, unique shops and boutiques and great restaurants. Most of the residents here live in condominiums, high rise apartments, or houseboats and at night the lights from the city sparkle and twinkle against the dark sky and ocean. A wonderful time to visit Marina del Rey is in December during their annual Holiday Boat Parade and Festival. But for fun, glamour, and convenience, anytime is a perfect time to visit this beautiful harbor city!

Marina Del Rey Weather & Climate

Southern California along the Pacific Coast enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year. As with most of the state of California, summers are dry due to a semi-permanent high pressure system that sits in the Pacific Ocean and holds storm tracks well to the north. Warm air moving over the cool ocean in summer creates fog that moves in during the evening and early morning hours but almost always dissipates by midday. The rainy season is November through early April, but this area receives only approximately 12 inches of precipitation per year. Some flash flooding can occur when large amounts of rain occur in winter over a period of one or two days, and in summertime, very dry conditions in the higher elevations means forest fires are always a threat.
