It’s known for its beaches, like San Buenaventura State Beach, with long, wooden Ventura Pier. Surfer’s Point is popular for surfing and windsurfing.
Ventura, officially named San Buenaventura, was founded in 1782 when Saint Junipero Serra established Mission San Buenaventura, with its 1809 church, the ninth of the California missions. Serra named the mission after the Italian Saint Bonaventure, hence the nickname that Ventura is the “city of good fortune”.
Located along the Pacific Ocean between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, the City was incorporated in 1866.
Boats depart Ventura Harbor for Channel Islands National Park, a habitat for rare island foxes and scrub jays.
