Holiday Living and California Dreamin’.

Folks looking for the classic Southern California holiday should look no further than the wonderful city of Oxnard. It’s palm tree lined waterfront, perfect beaches and the blue Pacific Ocean complete the postcard-perfect scene that one expects. This lovely beachside town is set right between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara with the Channel Islands within view. With perfect weather, beautiful beaches and very high quality of life, it’s no wonder that Oxnard is one of the wealthiest cities in the U.S. Oxnard enjoys a Mediterranean climate so guests will enjoy warm summers, mild winters and an unbelievable average of 354 days of sunshine each year. Within the city of Oxnard, there are more than 20 miles of beaches and that’s not even considering the rest of Ventura County! Beaches such as Silver Strand, Mandalay and McGrath all have amazingly soft sand and are very large with more than enough space to stretch out and relax.

Just off of the coast from Oxnard is Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. Known is the “American Galapagos”, the islands are home to more than 2,000 species of plants and animals including a large number than cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. Charter boats and flights bring guests to the islands for camping, hiking and wildlife viewing trips. Back in town, an exciting event that celebrates one of the state’s marquee products is the California Strawberry Festival. Each May, the region’s strawberry growers and producers gather for a celebration with music, performances and over 50 booths with strawberry products of every kind. And after your days in Oxnard, you can look forward to beachside hotels and great restaurants with a California flair. Local eateries feature farm-to-table menus with some of the freshest seafood and locally sourced produce and ingredients.
