Ventura Travel Guide

In the heart of Southern California, a short drive from Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Ventura is a charming beachfront town. Ventura has retained a lot of its original charm, offering an experience that almost feels like stepping back in time to a seaside town of the 1950s. With its wooden pier, historic main street, and old-fashioned boardwalk, the town has a charm unparalleled by other Californian beach towns.

Things to Do in Ventura

Aside from enjoying the beaches and the waterfront of Ventura itself, one of the best things to do in Ventura is to take a boat out across to the Channel Islands - a little undisturbed slice of paradise that show what California would be like if uninhabited. Ventura Pier is a great place for fishing, shopping and enjoying exquisite cuisines at local restaurants.

Best Time to Visit Ventura

The best time to visit Ventura is during the summer months when the weather is perfect for enjoying the beachfront and the sea.
