Marina del Rey
Marina del Rey is a census-designated place seaside community located in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, California, United States. The population was 8,176 as of the 2000 census. Marina del Rey is only four miles from the Los Angeles International Airport, close enough to provide easy access by car or public transportation, yet far enough away that residents are not disturbed by the airplane noise. The Fishermans Village offers a good view of Marina del Reys dominant feature, the largest man-made small boat harbor in the world, with about 7000 pleasure boats and yachts. The marina is surrounded by many high-rise luxury Condos, hotels, apartments, shops, and restaurants, as well as the USC Information Sciences Institute and ICANN, currently the closest thing the Internet has to a governing organization. There are also a large number of shopping centers lining Lincoln Boulevard just to the east.
