Eventually, they shared the land and sea—the good duck hunting and steel-head trout fishing—with the Spanish explorers and, in time, with the first Angelenos. The dream that eventually became modern Marina del Rey began in when a developer named M.
Wicks working under the auspices of the Santa Fe Railway sought to create a commercial harbor for the city of Los Angeles from the estuary and inlets of the village of Playa del Rey. The community reigned as the Coney-Island-of-the-West for some 30 years, though it faded in the midth century.

Pacific Electric ran its famed Red Car line here.

All the rigs are gone now, replaced by volleyball nets, beachfront apartments, lifeguard stands, and surf and bike shops. In , President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed Public Law , authorizing the Marina as a federal project. With the construction nearing completion, a vicious winter storm demonstrated that the main channel leading into the harbor was vulnerable to strong wave action.
Baffles were quickly installed perpendicularly to the channel, and then later replaced with the bouldered jetty seen today.
By the time the federal project that would create Marina del Rey began, the lagoon carried the awkward name of The Playa del Rey Inlet and Harbor of Venice, California.
