Open in 1965 and recognized as the largest man made marina in the United States and second largest in world with nearly 4500 boat slips, Marina del Rey has long been one of Southern California’s hidden gems and the gateway to an unmatched coastal lifestyle. Nestled next to Venice Beach and conveniently located just 7 miles from SoFi Stadium, Hollywood’s Harbor is uniquely positioned to become a premier waterfront destination during the World Cup, Super Bowl, and 2028 Olympics. With these marquee events coming to Los Angeles, now is the time to seize the opportunity for our small businesses, waterfront, and community to showcase the very best of what Southern California has to offer on a global stage.

Marina del Rey truly has something for everyone. From waterfront dining, boutique shopping, hotels, and scenic harbor views to boat rentals, sailing, sportfishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, surfing, whale watching, harbor cruises, and unforgettable days on the water, the marina delivers experiences unlike anywhere else in Los Angeles. Add in outdoor fan zones, waterfront events, family friendly activations, and the vision for an Olympic superyacht village and anchorage welcoming yachts from around the world, and Marina del Rey has the potential to become one of the most exciting hubs of the games while creating a powerful economic ripple effect for local restaurants, marine businesses, hospitality, retail, and tourism.

And just one hour away sits one of the true crown jewels of the Southern California coast, Catalina Island. Through the Catalina Crew Ferry, visitors can conveniently escape to crystal clear waters, world class diving, waterfront dining, adventure, and island charm all within an hour of Marina del Rey.

This is a once in a generation opportunity to leave a lasting impact, strengthen our local economy, and proudly show the world what Marina del Rey and Southern California are all about. Marina del Rey has something for everyone, and we are ready to welcome the world.
