Marina Park

Marina Park is a free public beach in San Buenaventura (Ventura), California, about 1.3 miles from the center of town. Restrooms are on site, the beach has accessible access, and dogs are allowed, so it works well for an easy outing with the whole household. The warmest, driest stretch runs from July through September, when typical highs reach about 73 to 74°F and lows sit around 60 to 61°F, with rain on only a day or two each month, according to averages from a nearby weather station in Oxnard. Winter stays mild, with typical January highs near 66°F. For a change from the sand, the Ventura Botanical Gardens Trail and Barlow Canyon Trail are both about 2.5 miles away. The Jerry Revard Nature Trail is about 3.2 miles away, and paddlers can head to the Ventura River, about 9 miles off.
