Today, Marina del Rey is an indispensable social, environmental and economic success, and has become a role model for other urban marinas throughout the world. As the Marina heads into the next century, considerations for future planning and design are underway. Marina del Rey will never be thought of as a finished product, but instead as a constantly evolving Marina "new town" with an inherent capacity to accept change. Currently, the County continues to strive for an optimum balance between public and private interests, as economic and recreational needs reinforce the Marina's role as a multi-functional activity center for the Los Angeles metropolitan
area.

  • I never forget the full moons projection,lighting the marina softly,while Iwas living in the boat house there.another best place to live.but not in a boat.
  • George Strait sang a song about this place. Apparently he found some lovin' here, and then he was missing her all throughout his trip back to Tennessee. Poor thing...
