About
Harbor Cove Beach is a public beach in California, about 1.6 miles from San Buenaventura (Ventura). It has restrooms, lifeguards and accessible access. Swimming is allowed, and so are dogs. Summer and early fall are the warmest and driest stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 73 to 74°F from July through September, with only one or two wet days a month. Winter brings highs in the mid-60s and around six wet days a month. There is no fee to visit. For time off the sand, the Barlow Canyon Trail and the Ventura Botanical Gardens Trail are both about 2.9 miles away, and the Jerry Revard Nature Trail is about 3.6 miles away. Paddlers can head to the Ventura River, roughly 9.5 miles off.
