Casual seafood spot at the Ventura harbor.
Good tacos right on the pier. Can't beat the location.
Waterfront bar and seafood spot at the harbor.
Great brunch spot. Gets busy on weekends but should be a breeze on a weekday.
Visitor center for Channel Islands National Park with exhibits and harbor views. You can also book whale watching tours from the marina here.
Relatively new. Great beer and one of the best pizzas in town.
Nothing fancy — just a classic strip mall donut shop.
Mostly referred to as 'The Cross' — you'll see why when you get there. One of the best views in the world. Overlooks the entire city and coastline. Accessible by hiking through the Botanical Gardens or driving up.
Indian tacos and burritos. Unique and very good.
Local Mexican fast food. Breakfast burritos are the move.
A newer sandwich shop that does everything on focaccia bread. Very good.
Everything is good, but the Khao Soi is the move.
The company HQ. Expensive stuff but fun to explore.
Solid local breakfast spot.
Great pizza spot, and I think they do pastries in the mornings too.
Run by some friends. Good stuff. The pastries go quick so get there on the earlier side if you want them.
The best fish tacos in the game — especially if you're with non-vegetarian folks.
One of several great Mexican spots in Ventura — they're all a little different but great.
Express location of the local Cuernavaca taqueria.
Small little tiki bar.
Behind city hall — a hike that takes you up into the hills for a truly killer view. Whether you walk through the garden or drive up, make sure you get to Grant Park at the top. Incredible view of the city and coastline.
Great on a nice day. Walk out to the end and take a picture.
