==Geography== Marina del Rey falls within unincorporated Los Angeles County and is southeast of [[Venice, California|Venice]] and north of [[Playa del Rey, Los Angeles, California|Playa del Rey]], near the mouth of [[Ballona Creek]]. The harbor and port is located {{convert|4|mi|km|spell=in}} north of [[Los Angeles International Airport]]. The harbor and the unincorporated residential and business community of Marina del Rey is bounded on all sides by the city of [[Los Angeles]]. The beach-style homes, on the inner portion of the coastal strand and the beach, west of the harbor, are within the city limits of Los Angeles, but share the same ZIP code as Marina del Rey. The name of this coastal strand (surrounding an estuarine inlet known as the [[Ballona Lagoon Marine Preserve]]) is the [[Marina Peninsula, Los Angeles, California|Marina Peninsula]]. The city street, Via Dolce, forms the boundary between Los Angeles and the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County known as Marina del Rey. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], Marina del Rey has an area of {{convert|1.5|sqmi|km2}}. Nine-tenths of a square mile (2.2 km{{sup|2}}) is land and {{convert|0.6|sqmi|km2}} is water (40.91%). One of the highest and tallest building complexes in Marina del Rey (though it is technically just across the border, in the City of Los Angeles) is the high-rise condominium complex known as “The Admiralty High-Rise” or simply AHR. AHR is a large condominium complex of three buildings: The Azzura condos, The Regatta condos, and The Cove. AHR has a height of about {{convert|170|ft|m}}, 20 floors and can house a maximum of about 2,500 people (800 condominiums) which is almost 30% of the population of Marina del Rey. AHR is located across Admiralty Way from the harbor and is a bright green-aquamarine color. It was built in 2003. AHR, or specifically The Cove, was the main location in the film [[Skyline (2010 film)|Skyline]] (2010). The specially-designed harbor has many kinds of moorings with significant cement pilings for pleasure craft and large boats, including [[Santa Catalina Island (California)|Catalina Island]] multi-passenger ferry boats, a large [[whale watching]] boat as well as a [[Pelagic zone|pelagic]] seabird watching boat, commercial fishing boats, harbor cruise ships, a [[US Coast Guard]] cutter ship, LA County Fire Department and Sheriff Department boats, and is surrounded by high-rise condos, hotels, apartments, shops, and restaurants. The area also includes the [[University of Southern California]] [[Information Sciences Institute]], the [[UCLA Marina Aquatic Center]], and the [[Loyola Marymount University]] boathouse. The Polynesian double-hulled canoe ''[[Hōkūleʻa]]'' docked in Marina del Rey in October 2023 as part of a four-year circumnavigation of the Pacific. The community is served by the {{convert|3|mile|km|adj=mid|-long}} [[Marina Freeway]] (State Route 90), which links Marina del Rey directly to [[Interstate 405 (California)|Interstate 405]] and nearby [[Culver City, California|Culver City]]. The [[North American Numbering Plan|area code]]s of Marina del Rey are 310 and 424. Its [[ZIP code]] is 90292. ===Climate=== {{Weather box|width=auto |location = Marina del Rey, California |single line = yes |precipitation colour=green |Jan high F = 67 |Feb high F = 66 |Mar high F = 67 |Apr high F = 69 |May high F = 70 |Jun high F = 72 |Jul high F = 75 |Aug high F = 76 |Sep high F = 76 |Oct high F = 74 |Nov high F = 70 |Dec high F = 66 |year high F = 70.6 |Jan low F = 49 |Feb low F = 50 |Mar low F = 53 |Apr low F = 55 |May low F = 58 |Jun low F = 61 |Jul low F = 64 |Aug low F = 64 |Sep low F = 63 |Oct low F = 59 |Nov low F = 54 |Dec low F = 49 |year low F = 56.5 |Jan precipitation inch = 3.19 |Feb precipitation inch = 3.25 |Mar precipitation inch = 2.66 |Apr precipitation inch = 0.58 |May precipitation inch = 0.26 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.04 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.02 |Aug precipitation inch = 0.07 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.08 |Oct precipitation inch = 0.33 |Nov precipitation inch = 0.94 |Dec precipitation inch = 1.90 |year precipitation inch = 13.32 |source 1 = IDcide<ref name= "Marina del Rey Climate Information">{{cite web|url=http://www.idcide.com/weather/ca/marina-del-rey.htm|title= Marina del Rey, CA Normal Temperatures and Precipitation|access-date=Jan 15, 2011}}</ref> |date=January 2011 }}
