The freshwater portion of the wetlands, located along Jefferson and Lincoln boulevards, features a walking path and is home to all manner of waterfowl. The saltwater portion of the wetlands is closed to the public on most days, but tours are offered on the second weekend of every month (check the Friends of the Wetlands calendar for times, park behind Gordon's Market at 303 Culver Blvd).

Halal Restaurants in Playa del Rey

Bacari PDR - 6805 Vista Del Mar Ln 33.95867, -118.44839 $20 Tapas-style casual dining featuring hot and cold dishes as well as gourmet Pizzas - plan on 2-3 dishes per person. Entrees range from lamb-stuffed eggplant to cauliflower in chipotle Sauce to Chicken breast paninis. Full bar with an extensive organic juice and fruit cocktails. Staff is enthusiastic and helpful. The space is a bit tight and it can get loud when full, so arrive early for a more relaxing vibe. Happy hour Monday-Friday from 5-7PM.

The Shack - 185 Culver Blvd 33.95872, -118.44871 ☎ +1-310 823-6222 - Under $10 per person with beverage While this restaurant now has six locations (two in California, three in Hawaii, and one in Colorado) and the Playa del Rey location is the original, opened in 1972. A surfer bar next to the beach ("Dude food without peer" according to the LA Times) and the signature dish is the Shack Burger, a 1/4 pound Burgers with a Portuguese sausage for $6.50 ($6.25 without cheese). Order at the counter, hang out in a booth, and enjoy the vibe. There are also plenty of televisions showing the latest games, and a bar serving the standard American soft drinks (Budweiser, Miller, etc) to help quench your thirst after a day on the waves. The one downside of this place is that its tiny parking lot fills quickly, and street parking can often be a challenge.
