Located just an hour northwest of Los Angeles, Oxnard is home to seven miles of sandy white beaches along the Pacific. Enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing and other water activities—or simply relax along the shore with a beach blanket and a good book. This city is also known as the “Gateway to the Channel Islands.” As a departure point for Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary, you can take a boat or ferry ride to five of the eight islands. Over the years, the natural and cultural resources of the islands have been preserved and protected, and they are home to more than 2,000 animal species—145 of which are not found anywhere else in the world! With pleasant, year-round weather, Oxnard is the perfect place to enjoy an abundance of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, golfing and sightseeing.
And depending on when you visit, you may be in town for one of the area’s festivals. These festivals include the Oxnard Salsa Festival and the Multicultural Festival, a celebration of the area’s rich diversity. In the fall, there is an opportunity to tour the area’s historic homes at the Oxnard Autumn Historic Home Tour.
