Fisherman's Village is the perfect location to view fireworks on the 4th of July, or the Christmas boat parade.
Whale watching or harbor cruises - January to April, take a whale watching boat to check out the gray whales on migration. You can pick up harbor cruises at Fisherman's Village and whale watching boats at Marina del Rey Sportfishing (Dock 52).
Watch the boats go by - The best place for kids to see all the boats sailing in and out is the promenade along the north side of the harbor. (Take Via Marina or Pacific Ave. until it dead ends at the channel.) Paved walkways all the way to the jetty at the entrance to the harbor.
