    Last time I visited Ventura I stayed at a hotel by the harbor to spend the next day out at the Channel Islands. While walking the beach adjacent to the harbor at sunset I came upon a woman being pulled by her Golden Retriever down to the water's edge. She told me he was so excited because he visits his friend, a dolphin, most evenings. Right, I thought. Rendezvous with a dolphin. So of course I had to hang around to see if she was just pulling my leg. Within 15 minutes three dolphins appeared and one of them came over to the surf near us, and her dog went bounding in. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I never would have believed it. Just made that beautiful place even more special.

    Yes love this! Ventura is my favorite little gem, and I feel so lucky to have grown up here. A few things I also think are great in the marina are: Andria’s Seafood. Honestly the best fish & chips you’ll ever have. And they make other yummy goodies too. I also love the retro arcade the marina has. As a kid, I was obsessed! Definitely great for kids. You can also rent paddle boats or kayaks around the marina and that’s always a fun thing to do. Sometimes you’ll see fishermen with their catch of the day, sea lions, or other fun things. And lastly, downtown Ventura has amazing thrift stores! A few even work with some great organizations. Anyways thanks for capturing all the amazing things that Ventura offers. ☺️

    We lived in Ventura for five years in the early 1980s. One thing we learned right away about visiting the beach: bring fingernail polish remover! There are oil seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel which results in small blobs of tar scattered on the beach. While getting tar on your feet is not guaranteed, if you do get some use the fingernail polish remover to remove the tar.

    You are finally in my home town. Ok what you left out ( though I agree with everything you said wholeheartedly) was the beach trail from the state beach toward Santa Barbara. It’s a gorgeous ride along the beach. For restaurants, have you ever been to cafe nouveau? If you like pancakes I don’t think there are better. It’s an experience in itself. It’s a fusion restaurant that defies description and everything is good but seriously try their pancakes. Also in the marina the best fish and chips I’ve ever had is andrias seafood. It’s simple, the fish is angel fish. Nothing else compares now that I had it made their way. Always a line around the block. Any restaurant downtown is great, but for a mix of Mac and cheese and wine tasting, paradise pantry rocks. Bring the twins for the killer Mac and they have probably the best wine flights in the county, and I’m pretty much lumping in Santa Barbara county too. The owners have great taste when it comes to their wines. And their Mac and cheese is truly killer. Bring mom and dad if they like a good wine and Mac. They have other food too that’s really good. But nothing like their Mac and cheese. Just some ideas next time you’re here. Also for a hike check out the newly opened Harmon Canyon trail

    My next beach trip. I went a couple of years back and I think we went to the beach on the other side of the harbor since I remember there being a lot of boats and restaurants on the other side of the street within walking distance. I'm looking forward to going back for Memorial day because the beach was not crowded and very well taken care of with white sand and a glorious view of the mountains in the distance. Great video as usual. Thank you, you were reading my mind. 👍🏾💯

    The biggest thing you left out were the corn burritos and one of my favorite is the bean, rice and cheese burrito from Corrales(don’t forget the hot sauce) . Also best donuts hands down in the USA is K D Village Donuts off telegraph near Anacapa middle school

    Wow it's so weird to see a city that isn't talked about a lot in a video like this and I really appreciate it. I live near Ventura btw and you should've included some Mexican restaurants like Taqueria Vallarta it's great

    Beautiful place! I've seen a lot of California and there's lots I haven't seen. Hopefully, I can visit somewhere there in the near future. Thank you for sharing.

    Better look out for those “Alligator Lizards in the Air” when you’re driving up that highway.

    If I could only visit 1 state, it would still be California. Sta. Barbara, Sta. Rosa, and definitely San Diego.
