Playa del Rey, California is a coastal neighborhood and a district with Los Angeles.

They were are often referred to as The Del Rey Hills or “The Bluffs,” and these dunes run parallel to the coastline, from Playa del Rey to south to Palos Verdes.

The gorgeous beach offers volleyball courts, an extensive, paved bike path, and a park across that has a playground and basketball courts.
In the 1950s and early 1960s, Playa del Rey Beach was known as great area surf spot, but the numerous rock jetties, which were were built to prevent beach erosion, ended the perfect surf. However, the northernmost beach of Playa del Rey is still called “Toes Over Beach”, “Toes Beach” or just “Toes,” which is derived from the position of the toes on a surfboard when performing a “Hang Ten” (as in ten toes).
The modest area of housing closest to the Marina del Rey beach is known as the “The Jungle.” “The Jungle” is a group of closely-built apartments that were constructed in 1956. The small sidewalks between the apartments have a deep green overgrowth, which contributes to its nickname.
