Today we’re sending you paddleboarding at a low key marina. Once you dry off, pick up some açaí bowls at The Hive to enjoy in the sand. Then end the day with a freshly-poured beer at Firestone Walker.

Dry off and walk over to The Hive for fresh acai bowls
📍 4242 Via Marina, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292
Okay, you may have overcommitted on the morning exercise and now you’re ravenous. No worries, this little marina gem has you covered. The Hive’s world-famous acai bowls are meal-sized smoothies loaded with fruit, granola, and other superfood goodies. Don’t sleep on the savory options either – their hearty warm bowls are equally satiating. Grab one of the waterside tables or a spot in the sand as you watch the boats lazily drift by.

Drink small-batch craft beer at Firestone Walker
📍 3205 Washington Blvd. Marina Del Rey, CA 90292
Cold beer hits different after a day in the sun. Firestone Walker’s massive Cali-crafted taproom is the oasis you’re looking for. Kick back indoors with an effortlessly cool industrial vibe or claim a shaded outdoor perch. The real dilemma is deciding between their iconic Pivo Pils, one of the wild barrel-aged Barrelworks ales, or maybe even a totally new experimental brew fresh from their Propagator lab. Fortunately, that’s a conundrum you can happily solve.
Know Before You Go
✔ If you’re still hungry, their food menu is geared for beer.
✔ This location is where the main brewery does all their R&D. Try one of their limited Venice-only beers made in the Propagator brewhouse next door.
