Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Marina Del Rey Harbor encompasses the entirety of the marina. Located near Venice and about quarter mile from the beach there's quite a lot to do. The harbor offers excellent views especially at sunset and some wonderful fine dining restaurants.
You can simply take a walk and look at all the adorable boats, some yachts and some sea lions or you can spend the day and have a bike ride, a lovely walk, a run and a fine meal for dinner. There are many places to eat there, and most you can get to by bicycle but you cannot walk to every one of the restaurants. They are spread apart.
Depending on what you feel like eating there is a great Mexican restaurant and several fish restaurants. All the required good albeit a tad pricey.
The Ritz-Carlton it's located in the marina and there is also a Marriott. Both are wonderful as to the rooms, the food, and the service.
One thing I really enjoy about the harbor is that it is often cooler then other areas even during the heat of the summer. Have a great time.

You can take a bike or drive your car to the harbor in Marina Del Rey. It is very pretty with plenty to do. You can have junk food or fine dinning within a walk of the harbor area. The boats are fun to look at and it is a nice walk and usually cool outside.
You can not get into certain boat areas because the gates are locked but you are welcome to walk pretty close. You can also walk to the Fisherman's Village from there. It has shops and a couple of good places to eat. Have a great time.

Our Uber driver dropped us off in front of the Harbor and we traveled down to look at the boats and the water. As out of town guests we really didn't know enough about the area to do any thing but take a stroll along the shore. The weather was warm and there is a nice view of the harbor and the homes across the bay. We were on our way to the park and it was a nice hike but there is a shopping area close by and the park is within 2 miles. The area is clean. We were there to take park in the New Years Eve events at the park.

Not a place where you can spend hours but it is a nice walk along the harbor to check out the boats. Its LA so you'll spend 30 minutes driving 3 miles but if you happen to be there, stroll out for a look.

This really is a great place to walk, sail, paddleboard or live! It only gets better and better. It is a 'must' visit place.

We have a friend with a boat, and we basically just toured the harbor for over an hour, people watching, boat watching and enjoying the sunset. Its a well though out marina, with easy access to boats and the ocean.

Beautiful area to take a walk. The air feel great. Constant activity from paddle board to luxury yachts. I found it very relaxing to just sit and watch.
