Although a little beat up by Father time, Fisherman's Village still remains a viable and…read moreinteresting place to come for a solo stroll or even with friends and family from near and afar. There remains a nice little amount of small businesses, and you can always treat yourself to one of my favorite spots at El Torritos. Last but not least, you can always catch some interesting elements of mother nature; namely seagulls, pelicans, and seals or sea lions, to say nothing of people watching. Overall a great spot for a nice roll and an opportunity to collect some great oxygen and sunshine. Fun fact: during the opening credits of one of the Charles Bronson Death Wish movies there is quite a panoramic view of this bery same Fisherman's Village and it looks almost exactly as it does now.

I always enjoy walking around and taking in the views, as well as dining! Inside & All Around | Souvenir shops, MDR Historical Society, clothing shops, places where you can rent boats, go on Harbor cruises & so much more! I've also been on the weekend and while dining, there was live music, and even people dancing around...Fun!! Also, I can always spot a variety of gorgeous flowers all around, so pretty! Dining Experience | I've dined at KC's Crepes for delicious, savory, and sweet Crêpes! I've eaten delicious Mexican food at El Torito! Also, had delicious Lobster Rolls several times at Whiskey Red's, which has a beautiful waterfront view, especially from the outside patio! Surprise | One evening, a friend, and I stumbled upon a total dance party outside, which included outdoor shopping, which was a win because one particular item (Vintage Coat) from a vintage shop caught my eye, and I had to have it for an upcoming concert! Hahaha! The owner of the shop even invited me to his full vintage collection at a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles! I've also enjoyed shopping at Istanbul Home with my cousin when she was in town! Fun shopping here! Parking | Be sure to remember to stop at the parking station and pay once you park, which will also ask for your license plate number! Tickets will be given otherwise! Also, be sure to park in the correct direction or tickets will be given! Overall | Yes, I highly recommend, as it's a super cute area, both charming & quite serene as well as incredible views all around! It's fun to walk around, as well as a great place to take someone who is in town visiting!

Parking is real expensive, but that's about the cost to park on the beach averagely around 10 dollars. 10 dollars will not make me nor break me in my convenience in having some fun. Nice spot, and cool places to dine and eat. We will try and come here at least once a month.

Yes, there's Trader Joe's on one end and a Bank of America on the other with three restaurants dotting the space in between. The walking and bike paths behind Boardwalk along the Marina are very nice, a major improvement to the area. I hope the rental activity picks up, and Boardwalk achieves its potential.

Since Nordstrom moved out it's just so eerie. Not a lot going on. I happened to come in as I was checking out a potential new gym which is coming in - Club Studio - and they're going to be pretty huge and take the old Bloomingdales space, people were super friendly and helpful so hopefully that will help but Santa Monica is gonna need a lot more investment in order to drive the people back to shop in person because there is really no good selection of stores of value - just a few boutiques and some brands like Nike or Johnny Was or Paige. Din Tai Fung and Cheesecake on the top floor which is great but other than that... let's hope for more stores in the future.

It has multi-level stories with so many well known name brand stores, good food vendors at the food court, and great restaurants along the way. Target and Best Buy are even here. What a great mix of a little of everything for everyone! I have only been here once since I don't live close. I was here with a friend for a Yelp event. They get super busy on the weekends. Weekdays may be less crowded. Parking is plenty. Be mindful of where you want to shop so you may park closer and don't have to walk too far to get back to your car. Mall was clean and well maintained. Easy to get around with the conveniently placed maps. Thanks. Way to go Westfield Culver City!

We parked our 40ft diesel pusher Motorhome behind the AMC Cinema next to Pavillions to do some shopping, get something to eat and see a movie. However as we parked Allied Universal Security, the security for Marina Marketplace, told us very rudely that we couldn't park there regardless if we were customers or not and told us to leave. So I suppose they don't want business from visitors visiting their city and plaza. So we left and went somewhere else. My advice to all visitors traveling to Marina del Rey to visit in an RV, avoid going to the Marina del Rey Marketplace, because you will not be welcomed there and security will tell you to leave regardless if you're driving a $500,000.00 diesel pusher motorhome. I will be posting my conversation with the security on YouTube.

I was here today, 6/25/23 for their "Fitness Fest" as I had not been back for a while so I thought what a fun way to explore some more. Various vendors from the shopping center showed off their products, by after-work and some even had interactive experiences. They always have something going on to make sure to check the website or their socials. Anyway, if you have never been here and are in the area, check it out. This center has so many great shops, restaurants, stores, workout facilities, etc. *Parking Tip: Do not park in the structure at the actual center, park in the residential that surrounds the area. The first you get away by like 2-3 blocks you will find all-day free parking instead of having to worry about short-term validation.
