Uncover Ventura County’s Hidden Beach Gems That Even Locals Can’t Resist—Your Ultimate Coastal Adventure Starts Here!
Stroll Plaza Park
This European-style square anchors downtown with an expansive green space, a beautiful pagoda, and the grand Carnegie Art Museum. It’s a lovely place to sit or play any day of the week, but most lively at their Thursday farmer’s market, summer concerts, and festivals throughout the year.
Get Cultured at Heritage Square
When some of Oxnard’s most unique and historic buildings were at risk of being demolished in the 1980s, citizens banded together to safeguard them in what is now Heritage Square. Today 11 Victorian houses, a church, a water tower, and a storehouse have been turned into 25 fabulous businesses and event spaces. We happened to meet one of the Heritage Square directors while strolling this lovely block of buildings, and he tipped us off to the Rancho Ventana artisan winery in the Scarlet House, the ultra-cool Pipiripau clothing brand making modern Mexican heritage designs, the Square’s summer concert series, and themed tea parties (Steampunk and Celyon anyone?). Drop by on a Saturday for their history and architecture tours or book a private hour any other day of the week for just $2 more.
