Fisherman's Village, Waterfront mall in Marina del Rey, US.
Fisherman's Village is a waterfront commercial complex in Marina del Rey, California, made up of five brightly painted wooden buildings and a small lighthouse structure. It sits along a promenade with boat docks, where visitors can rent boats and bicycles and browse souvenir shops.
The site was developed in the late 1970s as a commercial boat anchorage in Marina del Rey. Over the following decades it went through several changes in use, but always kept its role as a waterfront gathering point for the local community.
Fisherman's Village hosts open-air concerts on weekends along the promenade, drawing locals and visitors of all ages. The waterfront cafes and restaurants reflect the easy coastal pace that defines daily life in Marina del Rey.
The complex sits right on the waterfront promenade and is easy to reach on foot from nearby parking areas around the marina. A visit works well at any time of day, though weekend evenings tend to draw more activity along the docks.
Fisherman's Village served as a filming location for several television series, including The O.C. and scenes from Arrested Development, the comedy known for its banana stand. Fans of those shows often recognize the wooden buildings right away when they walk along the promenade.
