Only an hour away from the entertainment capital of the world, Ventura is a stylish, modern city that places a high priority on seaside recreation. Our hotels in Ventura offer easy access to some of Southern California’s best surfing at Pinepoint Bay, Mussel Shoals and Emma Wood State Beaches. And, no surfer’s holiday to Ventura would be complete without catching the Surfing Museum. Visit the museum, and see exhibits and artefacts showcasing what surfing was like in Ventura dating back to the early 1930s.
Visitors should also schedule a trip out to the beautiful Channel Islands National Park, or grab a paddle and sign up for a Blue Sky Kayak Day Tour to enjoy the Pacific up close and personal. For those looking to stay on dry land, hit the links for 18 holes at the River Ridge, Spanish Hills or Buenaventura Golf Courses. For beautiful hiking trails, head to the Ventura Botanical Gardens.
Guests of our Ventura hotels can also dive into the area’s rich history with trips to the Albinger Archeological Museum and Mission San Buenaventura, the mission established by Father Junípero Serra in 1792 that eventually became the city’s foundation.
