It is the section of beachfront just south of the BallonaWetlands and Ballona Creek and Marina del Rey; thus, the beach population is divided here. This makes Playa del Rey an enclave and keeps the crowds a little smaller, virtually "dredged-off" from Marina del Rey. Playa del Rey has a ZIP code of 90293 and an area code o 310. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Marina del Rey to the north, Playa Vista to the northeast, Westchester to the east, and El Segundo to the south.
