Beautiful Sunset

Activities Abound

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Marina Del Rey area offers something for everyone including surfing, biking, boating, jogging, photography, etc. on a year-round basis.

Golden

A stand of fountain grass takes on a golden look as it is backlit by the setting sun along a Marina Del Rey pathway.

Quick Trip Idea

Beautiful Catalina Island is only 90 minutes away via the Catalina-Marina Del Rey Flyer which departs daily from Marina Del Rey's Fisherman's Village. It's an easy, very enjoyable trip to Avalon Harbor.

Watching & Resting

This incredible close-up of a great blue heron was taken by my daughter, Jennifer, at nearby Sepulveda Wildlife Refuge. An impressive array of wild ducks, geese, egrets, herons and white pelicans can be found there during the winter months. Herons and egrets also frequent Marina Del Rey's Fisherman's Village and nearby Playa Vista Wetlands.

Cool Sunset

Two friends standing atop a Venice Beach sand berm admire the sunset on a cool February evening.

After the Rain

After a week of seemingly endless rain, the skies cleared on a beautiful Saturday morning. Local residents headed outdoors. Here, early morning riders cruise along the Marina Del Rey bikepath, with the snow-covered San Bernardino Mountains visible 80 miles away.

Wall of Water

The winter storm surf has been awesome along Southern California beaches the last couple of months! This 300mm telephoto shot shows a Redondo Beach surfer on a huge wave in January. Many sets that day were in the 12 to 16-foot range.
