Ventura's promenade beach at the historic pier
More
The 1,700-foot pier — once the state's longest wooden pier — anchors a promenade beach engineered with groins that make some of the coast's most reliable beginner surf. Rent a beach cruiser and ride to the harbor; winter sandbars bring the shortboarders.
