Ventura Harbor offers a wealth of year-round activities for visitors. Paddle the calm waters and enjoy uncrowded beaches, sport fishing excursions, whale watching, and tours of the spectacular Channel Islands National Park. The Harbor Cove Beach, located across from the National Park Service, provides lifeguard services during the summer.

Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are popular pastimes in the harbor, along with parasailing, surfing, and kiteboarding. Kayak anglers will find excellent fishing opportunities, with the chance to catch kelp bass, halibut, bonito, barracuda, or thresher shark. The harbor also offers sailboat, powerboat, and paddleboat rentals for those seeking a day of ocean exploration.

Whether you're fishing for a record-setting catch or simply enjoying a relaxing kayak journey, Ventura Harbor provides a truly one-of-a-kind ocean adventure.
