Guidebook for Marina del Rey
Everything Else
ベニス・フィッシング・ピア
Venice Fishing PierLocal focal point and beautiful ocean views.
This beach is amazing, because it doesn't have the Venice Boardwalk behind it. Feels more private - best kept secret in Santa Monica Bay.

Food Scene
This area is where the restaurants and bars are on Washington - perfect after a day at beach. C&O is a no-nonsense pasta place which is very recommendable and affordable.

This is literally steps away from the complex. It is not very happening, but the atmosphere is inviting and there is a fireplace in the lounge area. The tables outside overlook the Marina. Great for brunch or a drink.

This is a vegan place if you are into that - I like the atmosphere. Very "Cali" design. It's a popular and happening place. They don't accept reservations. They don't a liquor license, so their drinks are "skinny", but wine is normal :)

A lower grade but hearty food joint right on the Paradise Cove beach (outside tables are in the sand). Must dine in the cafe not to pay through the nose for parking. Reservations recommended. Very Malibu.

If you are planning a day trip to Malibu, I recommend the cafe on the pier early in the day (no wait), with nice views of the all popular and iconic Surfrider beach, locally grown and organic food, and some beautiful California sun (or marine layer as the case may be!)

This is a newer "local" brewery (it's a chain, but the brewery is right on site) with a fairly nice bar and restaurant scene with bar food. Their brews selection is excellent, though, and is a good place to go watch a sporting event.

This is quintessential Santa Monica / Los Angeles nightlife - beautiful people abound. I go there for the atmosphere - it is a nicely stylized place where "someone's" bungalows have been made into a bar / club. On Fri and Sat there is way too many people, and is too sceny. I prefer to go on Wed or Thu.

This is a historical cocktail bar with live music (check what's on on the night). The bar scene is strong, and downstairs they sometimes have very good DJ's come through. On Sundays, they sometimes have local radio station KCRW DJs do a set (who are excellent at curating the music of various genre's).

This is cool spot not many people know about. It's divey, but at the same time intimate. On Sunday's they have the unique burlesque show, and other live music performers on other days. Check for reservations if you want a table (very reasonably priced).

This is a place to visit to get a sense of Malibu - a relatively easy hike to a point with stunning views of the Santa Monica bay and Ocean. Amazing. Popular wedding spot. Zuma beach right underneath for a very Malibu vibe. A day trip.

This is an excellent small theater for some improv (not that many on the West Side - most of them in Hollywood). Advance tickets recommended (can be easily bought online) - this is spot is a frequent "on the whim" decision to visit if you want some variety.
