Have You Discovered Ventura?

Leave it to the Locals to show you the Best of Ventura!

A mere hop, skip and a jump from Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, you'll find the scenic California beach town of San Buenaventura (everyone just calls it Ventura).

Rich in history, natural beauty and agricultural resources, Ventura is a unique blend of old and new, coast and hillside, country and city.

Ventura locals are as diverse as the landscape, yet united in the passion they share for their town. As long time residents, our goal is to give you the “insiders” guide to the best of Ventura including…

• Scenic Beaches - Great for swimming, surfing and sun bathing
  
  
• Whale Watching and Sea Cave Kayaking
  
  
• A variety of Tasty Cuisine and Cozy Wine Bars
  
  
• Specialty Boutiques and Antique Shops in Historic Downtown
  
  
• Coastal Bike Trails - For enthusiasts and cruisers alike
  
  
• Arts & Culture
  
  
• And the PEOPLE who make living in Ventura so great!
  

But don’t just take our word for it, discover Ventura for yourself!
