You never have to get in your car or leave the beach! Rent bikes and ride to the Channel Islands National Park Visitors Center located in the Ventura Marina or ride the bike path to the Pier/Old Town Ventura or up to Santa Barbara/Ojai, if you're game. Hop on board one of the cruise boats that take you out to the Channel Islands for a truly great adventure. Whale watching cruises during the winter are a must.
Downtown~Old Town Ventura while not a specific activity, downtown Ventura is a veritable cornucopia of treats for the eyes, ears, mind, and, of course, stomach.
A delightful and accessible town center, it is replete with wonderful shops, myriad restaurants to suit any palate and budget, art galleries, museums, concerts and casual musical performances, a historic City Hall (Ventura is the County seat of government), and a charming park in which to relax and take in the whole experience.
