Wildfire Info & Updates

Our hearts are with all those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles that took place last month. We are grateful to our firefighters and first responders who worked tirelessly to help Angelenos. While only 2% of Los Angeles was directly impacted by the fires, L.A.’s favorite tourism hotspots and iconic attractions remain unaffected and are fully open for visitors to enjoy. In addition, Marina del Rey’s hotels, restaurants, and attractions are operating as usual, ready to welcome you and provide excellent service during your visit.
