Hike and Bike in Ventura

So you want to get your blood pumping and adventure out into the wild? Ventura has no shortage of breathtaking trails that will get you to the best views the city has to offer. 

The Rincon Bike Trail is 12 miles right along the coast starting at the Ventura Bike Depot and ending in Carpinteria, the neighboring city north of us. There’s plenty of opportunities for dolphin sighting or pulling off to the side for a dip in the ocean! 

Harmon Canyon is great for families or the wandering solo hiker. Don’t miss Trail 107, which rises, almost literally, into the heavens and offers a spectacular panorama at the summit. 

Check out the Ventura Botanical Gardens — about two miles of the city’s beauty. You’ll climb along Ventura’s hillside with stunning ocean views, including the looming bulks of Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands. Native and rare flowers and plants pepper the ground leaving you with visions of vibrant reds, yellows and oranges.

Have Fun in the Sun at Ventura Beaches

With 30 miles of coastline, there’s plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the warm Ventura sunshine. Maybe you’ll spend the weekend at San Buenaventura State Beach and head to the Jolly Oyster for some oyster shucking and a beachside picnic. Or maybe you’ll head to Marina Park beach, where kids can enjoy the new playground!
