Please explain your perfect day in Ventura County Coast. My perfect day is heading out to the Channel Islands to spend the day freediving and spearfishing with friends. The California coastline has a great variety of seafood to catch including scallops, lobster, white sea bass, yellowtail, and halibut. Spending the day in the water diving and watching the sunset over the ocean on the way back is my kind of paradise.
