Travel Secrets TV Explores Ventura County

Situated along California’s scenic central coast, the City of Ventura was once referred to as the “land of endless summers” and even the “city of good fortune”. This picturesque community offers plenty for visitors to do, including a stop along the pier at San Buenaventura State Beach and a stroll down the historic Ventura Pier. For those visitors more into surfing than swimming, make a stop at the rocky, narrow beach of Surfer’s Point. When it is time to take a break from the surf and sand, head to the vibrant restaurants, galleries, and more of Ventura Harbor. Beautiful Ventura County offers a stunning 42 miles of coastline and the Los Padres National Forest, which accounts for 46% of the county’s land mass in the northern portion of the county. Fertile valleys in the southern half of the county make Ventura County a leading agricultural producer. Together, farming and the Ventura Pier occupy half of the county’s 1.2 million acres. Ventura County has a strong economic base that includes major industries such as biotechnology, agriculture, advanced technologies, oil production, and tourism.
