  • Dogs on leash are allowed on the beach
  • Great place for big family gatherings, but you’ll have to make a reservation and pay a fee
  • Clean and well-kept park
  • Nice playground for the kids
  • Heads up – the bathrooms are a bit of a hike from the beach area!

Worried about your dog getting enough exercise while you’re in Ventura? Not to worry – hire a local dog walker who will be happy to show them around. Your dog will be excited you did!
