Real Estate & Homes in Marina del Rey - California - Marina del Rey, California homes and communites Marina del ReyMarina del Rey Background Marina del Rey is a boater's paradise. Every conceivable type of watersport is available, from boating and kayaking to windsurfing and whale watching. The marina offers more than 6,000 recreational boat slips, and the small community is home to more than 5,000 pleasure boats and yachts. In 1936, Congress authorized a study of the area in an effort to create Los Angeles Harbor. Although it lost the bid to San Pedro, developers soon realized that the inlet was a perfect location for a small craft harbor. In 1953, the state granted Los Angeles County a $2 million loan to assist in purchasing the new harbor site. Several years were spent developing the marina, which was plagued by damage from waves and winter storms. But after the construction of a breakwater in 1965, Marina del Rey was ready for business.
