Mother’s Beach, a man-made beach became part of Marina Del Rey in 1957 and is full of family-friendly fun. It’s a safe environment for the kids to swim, play a variety out outdoor sports and activities, and is walking distance from many wonderful restaurants.

You’re at a marina, do something out on the water! There are many cruise and charter companies around the marina, offering cruises for whatever you’re looking for: sunset cruises, dolphin watching, deep sea fishing, anniversary parties, or a date night adventure, just to name a few! Take a look at the Department of Beaches & Harbor’s website for a great list of resources to contact and schedule your charter or cruise today.
