Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors is offering a leisure kayaking session in the Marina harbor. The sessions will begin with kayaking instruction and water safety. The group will get the opportunity to practice and enjoy the Marina’s basins. This is a great opportunity for families to have a fun and educational day in the Marina.

Kayaking is open to anyone 10 years of age or older. Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult (double kayaks will be available). Swimming ability is strongly recommended (lifejackets will be provided for safety, everyone must wear it – no exceptions). Class size is limited to 20 participants. Fees must be paid upon registering, credit cards accepted.

The following is a list of recommended items you should bring for the Advanced Kayaking session: water, hat, snack, sunscreen and appropriate attire (e.g., shorts, t-shirt or wetsuit, depending on weather). We recommend that you place sunscreen in ziplock bags.

While on the kayak, you will be sitting on some water, so be prepared to get wet. Bring extra clothing.

Pre-registration is a must! To enroll, call (310) 822-8530.
