Undiscovered Coastline.
Just off the Pacific Coast Highway, this beachside community is known throughout Ventura County Coast as a peaceful place to stroll on the sand, have a picnic, or do some serious pier fishing. Which makes sense because the name Hueneme is a Spanish variation of the Chumash phrase “wene me,” meaning “resting place.”
Beach Cruisin’
This idyllic Southern California beach is a great getaway location for family, friends, or just yourself, and it’s located walking or biking distance from most of the local hotels, so you don’t have to worry about finding parking. The curving walkway along the beachfront is ideal for a relaxing ride on a bike or surrey! (Make sure to ask your hotel if they offer bike rentals or check out Wheel Fun Rentals.) A full list of walking and biking trails can be found here.
Ride the Waves.
Looking for a fun and uncrowded surf spot? Hueneme Beach Park provides decent surf conditions, especially with easterly winds. Waves break both right and left and are best at high tide. Bring your own gear or head to a local outfitter for surfboard and wetsuit rentals. Some can even set up private lessons. So pack your sunscreen and grab a board because surf’s up year round at this beachside community.
Rest and Revive.
In earlier times, Port Hueneme was named Wenemu, meaning “resting place” in the native Chumash language, and it was used as a stop between fishing expeditions. The destination continues to live up to its original name all these years later. Hueneme Beach is a place to unwind and revive. Go through the flow of sunrise salutations on the beach or feel the warm breeze touch your face during a sunset meditation. There’s sure to be an outdoor experience that fits your style. From heart racing bike rides to casual strolls along the lighthouse promenade walkway or a dip in the ocean, wellness takes on many forms here.
Cast a Line.
If you’re itching for some good fishing, cast a line from Hueneme Pier, where you can enjoy views of Channel Islands (including Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands) even the occasional passing dolphin or whale. A lesser-known fact about California is that you don’t need a fishing license to fish off a pier, so this is an angler’s dream come true.
Hit the Links.
Switch your fishing rods for clubs and play a round or two at the NBVC Seabee Golf Course. The 18-hole course features a lighted driving range, practice putting green, locker rooms, rentals and a complete pro shop. A soft spike-only facility, the NBVC Seabee Golf course is open to the public.
Grab Grub.
Prefer to eat beachside? Take in the scenery from the patio of Surfside Seafood, a popular local hangout with delicious food, for a serving of fresh or fried fish, shrimp, oysters, calamari and more. And if you’re not craving seafood, they also have an assortment of other dishes that will suit your palate.

Discover history.

Located close to the Ventura County Naval Base, Seabee Museum pays homage to the work of the Civil Engineer Corps and Naval Construction Force, better known as the Seabees. The museum is free and displays photos, equipment, and memorabilia from Navy building projects at home and abroad, during peace and wartime. People of all ages will enjoy learning about our local heroes!
