Seaside Wilderness Park
About
Seaside Wilderness Park is a public ocean beach in California, about 3 miles from San Buenaventura (Ventura). There is no fee to visit, and dogs are allowed, so it works well for a beach day with a pet. 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 stays mild, with highs in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-40s. Several short walks sit close by. Ventura Botanical Gardens Trail is about a mile away, and Brock Linear Park Path is roughly 2 miles off. Barlow Canyon Trail and the Jerry Revard Nature Trail are both within 5 miles.
