Ventura City Beaches: San Buenaventura State Beach, the Promenade and Surfer's Point Beach
Start your tour of Ventura City beaches at the 1,700-foot long Ventura Pier:
To the pier's west is Ventura's Promenade beach area. To its southeast is
San Buenaventura State Beach
two miles of sand with lifeguards on duty in season. The beach is one of 85 state parks in California
offering free AT&T wireless Internet access, or Wi-Fi.
Not only does every room have a terrific ocean view, but so does the roof, or at least its
Ventura surf cam
does. The Web cam is aimed 24/7 at Surfer's Point Beach.
From the pier, travel east along Harbor Boulevard to San Buenaventura State Beach's San Pedro Street entrance to access its group picnic, barbecue and lawn area. Head west from the pier to visit Surfer’s Point Beach, which fronts the county fairgrounds, officially known as Seaside Park - one of the few county fairgrounds in California right on a beach: San Diego County's fairgrounds are on the beach in
Del Mar.
Visit during the Ventura County Fair each August for surf, livestock and a ride on a Ferris wheel that overlooks the ocean. Head south of downtown and visit
Ventura Harbor
and the information center for Channel Islands National Park. Staying in Ventura? Be sure to visit our link to
