California Street joins the Ventura beach area at the California Plaza. From the Plaza, the Ventura Pier, with its restaurants, brewery, gift shop and ocean front playground, can be accessed. California Plaza is also home to a locally-owned restaurant offering ocean view dining. The Ventura Promenade runs parallel to the beach and Harbor Blvd. beginning at San Buenaventura State Beach from San Pedro Street to Seaside Park, adjacent to the Ventura Fairgrounds.
The Crowne Plaza Hotel, with fantastic water views from its guest rooms, bar and event space, has dotted the coastline since it was first built in 1972! Two years later, the Paseo De Playa condominium building opened, offering 100 condo units, most with two-bedroom floorplans, and many with incredible ocean views. This development also features a beachfront pool and spa area, a gym facility and an event space. Many of the Paseo De Playa units have undergone extensive renovations, while some remain classic time capsules. Residents enjoy these homes for both full-time living and weekend getaways. The public spaces and landscaping of Paseo De Playa have been extensively modernized in recent years, including delightful xeriscape landscaping in the large courtyard garden. The Beachfronter Apartment Homes offer rental units in an oceanfront location. These properties all provide convenient access to the Promenade, and beyond to Surfers Point, known internationally as a premier surf location.
North of Surfers Point is Seaside Park, home to the Ventura Fairgrounds. Known for the summertime tradition of the Ventura County Fair and summer concert series, the fairgrounds also provide the venue for events throughout the year, including the Strawberry Festival in May, weekly markets, and several quarterly expos. Seaside Park is also a stop for the Pacific Surfliner train, which connects Ventura with Central Coast California cities including Carpinteria, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, as well as with beach cities to the south in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.
