A Weekend in Downtown Ventura

Ventura’s downtown and waterfront are easy to explore in a weekend. Here are a few places to start.

Main Street

Historic Main Street has shops, restaurants, and cafes, plus Mission San Buenaventura nearby. It’s a good place to walk and browse.

Ventura Pier and the promenade

Walk out on the pier for ocean views, then follow the beachfront promenade. Surfers Point is a short distance away.

Ventura Harbor Village

The harbor has dining, shops, and boat activity. It’s a relaxed spot for an afternoon.
