Three things come to mind when I think of Marina del Rey - boats, beaches, and food! It's an easy drive from the Valley, about 45 minutes or less, depending on traffic. With the upcoming Fourth of July weekend coming up, this is the perfect place to get away for the day! Just recently, my family and I spent a gorgeous sunny Saturday exploring this seaside town.
