For travelers craving sunshine, good vibes, outdoor adventure and family fun, Ventura County Coast has it all. The region encompasses four unique city destinations with surf-town vibes and small-town charm. Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura and Port Hueneme each convey the quintessential “California State of Mind” without breaking the bank. Additionally, just a short distance off the coast you can also explore and discover Channel Islands National Park, one of North America’s magical treasures. When planning your trip, remember to check for the latest on COVID-19 in Ventura County.
