Daytime temperatures average 70°F year-round, and the sun shines in Ventura more than 250 days-a-year. This climate means you can pursue fun activities in a gorgeous outdoor playground in any season. Ride the waves, kayak with dolphins and bike along the coast. Hike pristine trails in Channel Islands National Park, camp under the stars and play a round of golf on a scenic course. Your options are endless! Come here. Stay here. Love it here. Get into Ventura.

Ventura is much more than surf and sand – it’s a fabulous art and cultural center, with many historical sights, galleries and other places to explore. Learn about the mission-era native Chumash culture at the mission and Channel Islands National Park Visitors Center. Browse exhibits at the Museum of Ventura County, experience 1800s pioneer life at historic adobes, or visit one of Ventura’s oldest landmarks the Mission San Buenaventura which was founded in 1782.

When evening arrives, live music rocks the town. Enjoy dinner and catch the beat at live performance spots around town. Music, theater and nightlife – Ventura is always abuzz with creative activities. Ventura has the nation’s 4th highest concentration of live music.

The farm-to-table movement is strong in Ventura and you can sample it everywhere from flip-flop friendly cafes by the beach to elegant downtown landmarks.

From Downtown's unique boutiques to the full spectrum of modern retailers available at the Pacific View Mall to the many antique stores found throughout the city, Ventura is truly a shopper's paradise.

Hundreds of artists make their home in Ventura. From painters and sculptors to dancers and musicians, its hard to go anywhere in town without finding either an artist at work or a display of creative efforts ongoing.
