Marina Del Rey

The keen bargain seeking apartment shopper is also likely to find a shiny bauble among the diamonds if they look hard enough. For those craving sustenance, many ethnically themed restaurants as well as some of the best seafood around can be feasted on here. Several of the restaurants have views that, from the right vantage point while enjoying good company, perfectly highlight the moonlight bouncing off the water after dark.
As calm as the waters surrounding it can be, there is a sense of hustle and bustle to the whole place. To unwind, many locals and worker's in the nearby tech companies and new media firms hit the local bar scene to unwind. Known for it's good times and, in some cases, off-the-wall themes, these neighborhood haunts offer a chance for many to kick back and shake off the stress of the day or long week.
If you are into motorcycles or classic cars, then this is the town for you. Many of its warehouse lined streets are filled with dealerships and specialty shops dealing in custom bikes and dream rides to go granted you have the financial wherewithal to pursue your toy of choice.
