15 Best Things To Do in Oxnard, California

About Oxnard

Being the largest city in Ventura County, Oxnard is a Southern Californian city that’s surrounded by the ocean and gives off a small sleepy-town feel. The small population of the area makes it the perfect place for people who want to experience the ocean’s glory without the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles that’s just 60 miles away.

Sandy beaches stretch for as wide as five miles in the city, only to be interrupted by the Channel Islands Harbor, which is the hot spot for shopping and dining in the busy city. Some must-see beaches include the Silver Strand and the Hollywood beach.

Apart from its oceanic vibe, the city also pays tribute to vintage cars through the Mullin Automotive Museum. Car lovers, take notes!
