Ventura County Trail And Beach Hikers

Join us for a 3.0 mile walk on the promenade at Seabridge followed by (optional) lunch - there are several restaurants to choose from. Meet at the fountain statue between The Raven Tavern and Yolanda’s Mexican Cafe, 1601 S. Victoria Ave., #190, Oxnard, CA 93035.

For this walk, we’ll walk from Yolanda’s Restaurant into the Seabridge Marina development where we will wander along the channels and see the big houses and beautiful boats.

The trail surface is paved concrete and smooth. Restroom facilities are available at the beginning, at approximately 1 mile into the trail and at the end of the trail.

Friendly and well behaved dogs are welcome on this trail.

Don’t let the chain link fence keep you from exploring this wonderland; the gate off of Angler Court is unlocked daily between 9am and 5pm.
Bring binoculars to see the Wildlife closer .
Sandy pathways loop around the freshwater ponds, flanked by mature vegetation that creates ideal vignettes through which to gaze at the over 200 species of birds. You’ll lose all sense of time watching the herons on the island in the middle of one of the ponds, a huddle of cloaked hunchbacks. The far end of the Reserve meets the beach dunes, with fantastic views across the ocean to the Anacapa Island.
The biggest loop, around 2 of the 3 ponds and taking in ocean views, runs about a mile; you can cut off about a quarter of a mile on the smaller loop, which encircles only the middle pool.
DIRECTIONS free street parking.
We will hike around the ponds and try to stretch it to 4 miles!!!

We will hike up to the peak. look at the views and then soak in the hot springs. If you want to save $$ park just outside the parking area in the dirt area. Plenty of free parking. The trail to the hotsprings is only a half mile, very easy and flat, the peak will give us some exercise but folks can just skip the peak and soak longer. Although Santa Barbara county has a nude ordinance, they never seem to enforce this one here and I have seen nudes in this springs.
