About Marina del Rey
Marina del Rey means the “Docks of Kings” and that’s exactly how you’ll feel when you’re here. The man-made harbor is home to over 5,000 boats and it’s quite the sight to see while you’re enjoying this seaside community.
About 21,000 people call Marina del Rey home, but the daily population swells beyond that as people come and go out of the harbor, local businesses, and tourists. The community is close to several local beaches and offers a variety of outdoor activities, particularly water sports, in a supremely wonderful climate.

Advantages
- Climate
The climate in Marina del Rey is heavenly, and we think the weather people must get a little bored of always predicting another beautiful day, but hey, we’ll take it. Enjoy the sunshine and mild temperatures that come with working here.
- Geography
Geography is either an advantage or a disadvantage, there doesn’t seem to be a happy medium. Lucky for us, it’s an advantage in Marina del Rey. The city is close to Los Angeles and easily accessible to anything you need.
- Coastal Community
There’s a robust population of residents and tourists in Marina del Rey, although it hasn’t lost that small, friendly, community feel, and we love that about this place. You’ll feel like you belong and that you’ve found long-lost friends.
Disadvantages
- Expensive
Coastal communities come with a price tag and that’s something that anyone with a project in Marina del Rey needs to be ready for. The cost of doing business here is higher, but also comparable to other locations in the area.
- Traffic
Folks, we are still in Los Angeles County and those beaches still attract large crowds. Therefore, be prepared for traffic. But if you’re considering a location in Los Angeles County you were probably already prepared for traffic.
- Infrastructure limitations
Marina del Rey lacks some of the infrastructures that a standard local government has, and this can impact your project. All paperwork and permits are done through the Los Angeles County government.
Famous Locations in Marina del Rey
- Del Rey Lagoon
The del Rey Lagoon is a small park but so worth the visit. There is the saltwater lagoon and birdwatchers delight in the various waterfowl that it attracts, not to mention some of the other birds that stop on their way through. There are ball fields for kids and a playground too. It’s a nice place to come and unwind.
- Venice Beach
Venice Beach is famous, whether you’re familiar with the name or not. Once you see and stroll on the boardwalk, you will remember it from some movie or photo. The beach is known as the playground of Southern California residents and visitors and a popular surf location. Arrive early, it gets busy here.
- Burton W. Chace Park
Burton W. Chase was the father of the Marina and this park opened in 1972 to honor his contributions. There are docks, picnic areas, great locations to enjoy the harbor, and water bus rides for only a dollar. The park admission is free and it's open seven days per week.
