Moving from Marina del Rey to Long Beach

In October of 2011 I moved from the Los Angeles County harbor community of Marina Del Rey to the Shoreline Village and Rainbow Harbor area of  the City of Long Beach.  Marina del Rey is an uncorporated LA County area adjacent to  the Los Angeles Airport and the City of Los Angeles.  It is the home of one of the largest small boat harbors in the world.  Long Beach is located about 40 miles south of Marina del Rey.  It is adjacent to the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles, two of the largest and busiest commercial seaports in the world.
