Get the whole team together for beach activities like surfing, kiteboarding or kayaking. Water enthusiasts will enjoy winter swells and summer whitecaps at Ventura’s beaches, but there are plenty of options for those who like to enjoy the surf culture from a distance. The oceanfront Ventura Promenade is a festive place to take a stroll or ride bikes.

OXNARD

In the casual seaside city of Oxnard, you’ll find an active boating harbor, the nation’s largest kosher winery, the world-class Mullin Automotive Museum and a historic downtown bursting with multicultural flavors and architectural treasures. You’ll quickly discover why a tasty array of authentic Mexican cuisine and new eateries are putting Oxnard on the culinary map. In downtown Oxnard, Heritage Square is an amazing collection of magnificently restored homes and lushly landscaped gardens.

Oxnard’s harbor provides access to Channel Islands National Park, “America’s Galapagos.” The natural and cultural resources of its five different islands have been steadfastly preserved here and although it’s just a short boat trip away, these islands will have you feeling like you’re in a different world.

PORT HUENEME

Stroll wide sandy beaches in Port Hueneme, a seaside community located between Oxnard and Ventura. Its original Chumash Indian name, Wenemu, means “resting place.” And it doesn’t take much time at the fifty-acre Hueneme Beach Park to discover that this city is a place for refreshing the mind and soul.

Port Hueneme Beach Park’s expansive sandy beaches, south-facing surfing waves, volleyball courts, and walkable beachside promenade promise satisfaction for every kind of beachgoer – sunbathers and surfers alike.
