KICK BACK
The seaside community of Oxnard is home to 7 miles of uncrowded coastline. For a truly Californian experience, bring your group to one of several sandy beaches along the southern Pacific Coast. There’s the local hot spot, Silver Strand Beach; the must-visit, Hollywood Beach; the recreational paradise, Hobie Beach; the USA Today 10Best No. 1 West Coast Beach, Mandalay Beach; and the family-friendly Kiddie Beach Park. No matter where your group chooses to spend the day, each beach promises pristine waters, local art, and unforgettable sunsets. Not to mention, the Channel Islands Maritime Museum makes for a perfect excursion opportunity.
EXPLORE
Away from the beach, your group can enjoy recreational activities on the water, such as fishing with Hook’s Sportfishing or Channel Islands Sportfishing, kayaking with the Channel Islands Kayak Center, sailing aboard the Mystic Whaler, or relaxing aboard the Scarlett Belle paddlewheel riverboat. Looking to enjoy some time back on land? Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and Channel Islands National Park are perfect for hiking and whale watching.
TASTE
Oxnard is a mecca for cultural cuisine. For the taco lovers of your group (who doesn’t love tacos?), the Oxnard Taco Trail offers a menu of tacos visitors can try across the city, including quesatacos, barbacoa plates, los vampiros, birria machetes, red mulitas, torta titanics, birria pizzadillas, and more. Check in at 15 locations and win an “I Conquered the Oxnard Taco Trail” T-shirt! For a bit more variety, Visit Oxnard also offers a mobile Restaurant Pass that allows visitors to check in at restaurants, receive exclusive deals, and win prizes.
