Description: I had high expectations for my visit to Fisherman’s Village in Marina Del Rey. I had heard about all the restaurants and great shopping. Boy, was I bamboozled. Fisherman’s Village is nothing more than small area that looks like a fishing village, but in reality, it only has four restaurants, a couple souvenir shops, and a hot dog/burger stand. What a letdown. I was ready to shop till I dropped, but the only thing I purchased was a T-shirt. This was not at all what I expected or what I was told the village would be like.
We wanted to take a harbor cruise, and the sign said the cruises start at 12pm and go every hour on the hour. We finally tracked someone down and were told the first cruise would be at 1pm that day due to a boat that had some problems. Well, it was 11:30 in the morning and had there been some stores worth shopping in, we would have gladly waited until 1pm, but at this point, we were pretty bored with the place. We had some snacks at Shanghai Reds and drove down to the beach instead.
All in all, I was very disappointed that it wasn’t at all what I thought it would be. Bummer.
