Nearby/Recreational Activities
Four beach volleyball courts 600 feet away at Ventura State Beach.

Bike riding. Very nice bike path that starts at the adjacent Ventura State Beach – enjoy a nice ride up to the historic Ventura Pier (about one mile) and watch the surfers at the adjacent Surfers Point (premier surf spot for beginners to experts), or continue on the bike path for miles riding right along a nice coastal path.

Channel Islands National Park. Right in front of the house are five islands that comprise CINP. Island Packers Cruises, the transportation concessionaire for CINP, operates right out of Ventura Harbor and can take you out to enjoy the islands for day trips, whale watching trips, island kayaking, snorkeling, scuba, hiking, camping, etc. Daily departures from Ventura Harbor (about a 5 minute drive) from the house. CINP has a Visitor’s Center in the harbor which is also fun to visit and Ventura Harbor has lots of great shops and restaurants as well.

Golf – Two public 18 hole public golf courses within 2-5 miles of the house.

Food and Shopping
Vons Market, Starbucks Coffee and a variety of small retail shops and restaurants are about ½ mile away at Seaward Avenue and Harbor Boulevard. Banks, gas stations, fast food restaurants, etc are in the same areas.

Downtown Ventura – just north of the Ventura Pier and walking or biking distance from the house you’ll find a very robust and recently revitalized Historic Downtown Ventura. The Main Street area is filled with great restaurants and bars, shopping and antiquing, a large movie theater, Saturday Farmers Market, etc - all of it located near the San Buenaventura Mission (est. 1782).

Ojai, CA. Nice inland drive of about 15 miles away on Highway 33. In the summer, it is not uncommon for Ojai to get into the 90’s and even hit 100 on occasion. This is a pretty small town but it is culturally rich with top notch resorts, spas, golf and tennis to pamper you. Nice hiking further up into the mountains, hot springs and swimming holes can be found right a short drive out of Ojai with a road that will take you up into Los Padres National Forest and more recreational opportunities.
