The beach side city of Playa Del Rey has its own delightfully down-to-earth vibe, with plenty of old-school dives and restaurants to hang out in, and zero pretentious airs. In Playa you'll see planes taking off from LA, an endless procession of sailboats coming and going from Marina del Rey and, after sunset, massive cargo ships lying at anchor. The Marvin Braude Bike Trail, the Del Rey Lagoon Park, and the Pacific Ocean, make Playa a great place to spend a warm summer day.
