Book Your Stay
You’re weeks away from your best friend saying “I do,” and now is your time to celebrate her by planning the ultimate bachelorette party. The key to nailing this milestone weekend is to curate a few perfect days filled with meaningful moments, photo-worthy social posts, and experiences as unique as the bride-to-be.
The Ventura County Coast– home to the cities of Camarillo, Port Hueneme, Oxnard, and Ventura– has everything you need to deliver a bachelorette bash that checks all the boxes. Think serene beaches, boutique shopping, rustic wine and beer tastings, plus farm-fresh feasts.
A California-style bachelorette is the perfect way to create three days of fun tailor to the bride-to-be’s unique interests, blending relaxing downtime with laughter-filled memories. From renting an electric boat at either the Channel Islands or Ventura Harbors for a sunset cruise with friends, to chartering an excursion to Channel Islands National Park, the Ventura County Coast offers experiences that are hard to find anywhere else. Picture shucking your own oysters after a scenic hike, exploring vintage boutiques and artisan shops, or enjoying paint-and-sip classes. With bougie cocktails, hotel rooms with breathtaking views or walkable locations, the Ventura county Coast is an ideal destination to make memories for a lifetime.
Make these key memories before your big day.
Day 1: Beach Day and Sunset Toasts
Start the weekend with a relaxing day at one of Ventura County’s pristine beaches. Whether it’s the peaceful stretch of Port Hueneme or the vibrant scene at Ventura Beach, the uncrowded sands provide the perfect backdrop for soaking up the sun and kicking off your celebration.
Make the most of golden hour with sunset cocktails at a harbor-side bar, like the Waterside Restaurant and Wine Bar. Prefer something more exclusive? Charter an electric boat from Ventura Harbor, pack your favorite bubbly and snacks, and cruise for a special toast on the water.
End the day by taking it back to the “good old days” by checking into one of the region’s charming hotels for a sleepover, complete with robes, a playlist, and photo ops by the fire pit.
Day 2: Adventure and Indulgence
Kick off the second day with a bit of adventure. The hiking trails along coastal cliffs, lush valleys, and scenic ocean vistas offer stunning, photo-worthy views of the coastline– a great experience to bond with your party.
A morning hike in the foothills of the Los Padres National Forest, like Arroyo Verde Park in Ventura, or the dog-friendly trails in Camarillo’s Oak Grove County Park, is a wonderful way to get your body moving and explore the beauty around you. An island adventure is also just a boat ride away from the Channel Islands or Ventura harbors– but it’s worth devoting a full day to that one!
After working up an appetite, treat yourselves to a farm-to-table lunch at one of the local eateries, a seafood experience, or tacos on the Ventura pier. Ventura County is known for its fresh produce, and the culinary scene here is definitely worth exploring.
The region’s rich farm culture makes it a wonderful location to enjoy locally grown produce. Many of the restaurants and food trucks around town use locally grown ingredients.
Day 3: Shopping and Farewell Brunch
No bachelorette party is complete without a bit of shopping- and Ventura County Coast delivers. Spend the morning browsing Ventura’s eclectic thrift stores, bougie beach boutiques in the harbor, or your favorite brands at a discount at the Camarillo Premium Outlets. Whether it’s a fun vintage find or a last-minute accessory for the big day, there’s something for everyone.
Wrap up the trip with a farewell brunch at one of the area’s cozy cafes, or a unique experience watching private airplanes come and go at Waypoint Cafe at the Camarillo Airport. Relive the weekend’s highlights over avocado toast and fresh pastries, and raise one final toast to the bride’s next chapter.
