expansive Uncrowded Beaches

Oxnard's beaches are some of the most beautiful in Southern California. Known for its sweeping dunes, golden era Hollywood films (e.g., The Sheik) were shot along our coastline for its resemblance to the untouched desert sands of Arabia. Today, the distance between the highway and the ocean keeps passersby from swarming our beaches, keeping them in pristine condition for locals and visitors alike.

In Your Free Time

Enjoy time between conference sessions exploring our panorama-perfect destination on the California coast situated between Malibu and Santa Barbara. Indulge in Oxnard’s international culinary options, from freshly caught seafood to the famous taco trail, our city has food options for every taste bud.
