NARDCORE
Oxnard has its very own hardcore punk music subgenre, and if you're familiar with the subculture, you know that "Nardcore for life" is a way of life. Check out Da Nard Times, a hardcore punk fanzine from Oxnard. Looking for a show? Check out @nardcorepunk on Instagram.
Anacapa Island Ridgeline
The jutting cliffs of Anacapa Island are sure to have acrophiles, those who love heights, chomping at the bit to board an excursion to Channel Islands National Park. As you disembark your Island Packers excursion via ladder climb, you'll proceed to climb 150 vertical stairs to reach the island's plateau. With up to 250-foot drops into the sea from the upper shelf of the island, the bluffs are sure to have you sweating as you near their edge. But, the views are unparalleled. Please stick to the trails, and respect plant and wildlife.
