Head to Ventura for a beach-lover’s paradise full of sun, sand and surf. Even if you’re not frolicking in the waves, this ocean community north of Los Angeles offers the perfect getaway full of unique dining and entertainment experiences.

Ventura Music Hall
This new music venue aims to bring major musical acts to an intimate space. Enjoy live music of all genres while chowing down on local craft food and drinks for an authentic taste of Ventura.

The Yard
The Yard is a Pemberton PHX-esque outdoor shopping and dining hot spot in downtown Ventura. Head to Stout Burgers & Beers for a cold one or a patty fresh off the grill, Humblemaker Coffee Co. for a cup of “crafted wellness,” or Iron & Resin for a uniquely Ventura outdoor apparel shopping experience.

Conway Family Wines
This new winery in Ventura Harbor Village features a tasting room where you can enjoy handcrafted wines while taking in the beautiful scenery. Conway uses the cool-weather “ocean effect” to slowly ripen its grapes, leading to the perfect balance of acidity and sugar.
