Beautiful beaches are always an enticing element to any city — and Marina del Rey offers them in spades. This charming coastal community, which is known for its iconic amusement pier, is the ideal destination for a bachelorette party in Los Angeles (especially if a Marina del Rey wedding is already in the works). Because of the gorgeous surroundings, when you think of hosting a bachelorette party in Marinda del Rey, a yacht venue immediately comes to mind. How could it not? Taking advantage of the stunning scenery is an obvious choice, and a bachelorette party on the water is the best way to do it. Of course, finding the right carrier to work with is a top priority, and lucky for you, City Cruises provides everything you need.

Newport Beach is just as beautiful as it sounds. This enchanting coastal city in Orange County, California embodies everything that a city on the water should, and residents and tourists alike fall in love with it time and again. According to The Chamber Newport Beach, the city “has established its own coastal character by combining the best aspects of its well-known Southern California neighbors, resulting in an air of ‘seaside sophistication.’ ” It all makes for the perfect place to host your bridal shower on the water in Newport Beach before your big Los Angeles area wedding.

These days, pre-wedding events are also taking center stage. There are a host of pre-wedding parties, including the rehearsal dinner, bachelorette and bachelor parties, and the engagement party, and that’s just for starters. But the bridal shower is the bride’s time to bond with her female BFFs and family members who “gather to celebrate the bride ahead of her nuptials, play games, give advice, and gift her the essentials she’ll need to start married life,” according to Brides. And the best place to have your special bridal shower in Newport Beach is on the water with City Cruises.
