The main city beach is located at the pier and is nearest to the downtown area.
You can walk out onto the pier to take in the best views, which stretches 1600 feet long. You can also fish, visit restaurants, and rent bikes, beach chairs, and body boards.
Near the pier is Surfers Point Park, which can be reached via the paved Ventura Promenade pathway. You can also visit San Buenaventura State Beach, which is about 4/5 of a mile from the pier.
Amenities available include restrooms, showers, rentals, restaurants, and a hotel. You can also park at a large parking structure next to the hotel or at the northern parking lot for San Buenaventura State Beach.
This pier is special because of its rich history, dating back to 1872. It's an old structure on wooden pilings that attracts fishermen and tourists alike, offering stunning views of Pierpont Bay and the Channel Islands.
