Emma Wood State Beach
About
Emma Wood State Beach is a 123-acre state park in California, about 3.5 miles from San Buenaventura (Ventura). It is managed by the state park agency, and the park holds two campgrounds within its boundaries, making it a base for overnight stays near town. Late summer and early fall are the most settled times to visit. At a nearby weather station near sea level, typical average highs reach about 74°F in August and September, with lows around 60°F and only a day or two of rain each month. For more time outdoors close by, the Ventura Botanical Gardens Trail lies about 1.2 miles away and the Brock Linear Park Path about 2 miles off. Barlow Canyon Trail is roughly 4 miles away, and the Ventura River, a paddling option, is about 7 miles away.
