Situated on thirty-three acres, Ventura’s year-round mild climate, yearlong events, shopping, restaurants, and Marina make Ventura Harbor Village an ideal setting for quick weekend getaways.
Channel Island Packers take visitors on multi-day hiking and camping trips out to the Channel Islands National Park located 20 miles off the coast of Ventura. Channel Islands National Park encompasses five breathtaking islands (Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara). Isolated for over thousands of years the Channel Islands National park has one of the most diverse ecosystems and is home to a unique range of plants and animals that are found no where else in the world.
San Miguel was inspiration for story Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’ Dell. Island of the Blue Dolphins is the true story of a Chumash woman who becomes stranded on the island when she realizes her son is not aboard the schooner “San Nicolas” which was taking the islanders to the mainland.
The Channel Islands are also the site of pygmy mammoths remains that were first discovered in early 1873. The remains of the mammoths can be seen at the Channel Islands Visitors Center at the northern edge Ventura Harbor Village.
