There’s something for everyone in Oxnard: whether you’re a nature lover, wine connoisseur, car enthusiast, or a family with kids to entertain, there is plenty to see during your stay at Beachy Keen! Here are a few attractions to see in Oxnard, California during your Beachy Keen vacation.
Channel Islands National Park
One of the most treasured attractions you can see in Southern California, Channel Islands National Park is home to lively tide pools, kelp forests where you can scuba dive, and historical and natural wonders. The short boat trip out to the islands is well worth sights including the unique Arch Rock on Anacapa Island, an abundance of sea life, and stunning caves and other rock formations. Please visit the National Parks website for more information about visiting Channel Islands National Park and stay up-to-date on temporary closures, if any. Even if they’re closed to the public, though, you can still sail by and view them by boat!
Local Beaches
Beachy Keen is located just 150 steps from the ocean. Enjoy surfing, sunbathing, volleyball, fishing, and family fun on the beach along the coast of Oxnard (and from Beachy Keen, it’s only a short walk!). Our property is located right next to Oxnard Beach Park, and there are many other shores to enjoy in Oxnard.
Strawberry Picking
Take your sweetheart or your kids to pick some sweet organic strawberries! There is plenty of fresh produce to enjoy in the area, and picking your own berries makes the treat even more special. You can’t get them any fresher than straight off the vine! Visit McGrath Family Farm during strawberry season (or check out their pumpkin patch in the fall!).
Automotive Museums
The Mullin Automotive Museum has a stunning collection of historical French race cars and luxury automobiles from the early 1900s. They are open Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
