If you’re looking to upgrade your workspace to one with a sea view, consider booking your workation at Beachy Keen!
Wedding ceremonies changed a lot in 2020. Due to quarantine restrictions, many engaged couples who had previously planned to get married found themselves faced with a dilemma. Do we wait after the pandemic ends to host our hundred-plus-guest-list wedding, or do we elope? What about our honeymoon...should we even bother to plan one? While some couples chose to wait, many decided they’d rather be married, causing elopements in 2020 to skyrocket. With all of the general stress brought on last year - socially and economically - eloping was much less stressful than trying to reschedule a new wedding at a later date. And that trend will continue into 2021. That being said, if you are one of these couples planning an exciting elopement of your own, consider Beachy Keen! It’s the perfect elopement and honeymoon getaway!
A beach wedding has its own unique vibe. It’s the perfect balance between romantic and laid-back. No matter how sophisticated or casual your attire, the sun setting over the ocean water is always a stunning natural landscape to any ceremony. With rings on your fingers and sand between your toes, you’ll start your marriage excited but relaxed.
The beaches in Oxnard are truly the ideal location for a private beach wedding. It’s hardly ever crowded, especially during the weekdays. Plus, there are so many great backdrops for wedding photos and videos. Will you choose the eclectic murals at Silver Strand Beach? Or the colorful houses at Hollywood Beach? Or what about the grassy knolls at Oxnard Beach Park? (Beachy Keen isn’t far from here!) No matter what beach you choose in Oxnard, your wedding photos and videos are sure to be gorgeous and fun.
Once the nuptials are complete, just walk 150 feet to your honeymoon suite at Beachy Keen! And with the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for you to get ready for the wedding ceremony. Keep the champagne chilled in the wine fridge in the kitchen for when you get back from the beach. Then step outside into the private backyard and pop the cork! Make a toast to your new marriage by the romantic light of the fire pit.
You could even host a small private reception for up to 10 guests, including you and your new life partner. It’s up to you! Will you be dining indoors or outdoors? You have the option for both!
You’ll have the most amazing honeymoon ever for the rest of your stay. You could go to the beach everyday, go on an ocean adventure, or simply choose to stay in. Relax together in the private backyard or lounge in the living room watching your favorite movies together. Whatever you want! You’ll have everything you need to make the honeymoon of your dreams.
You can do all of this for much less money (and stress!) than you would spend on a traditional wedding alone. When you book a stay at Beachy Keen, you can host your own stunning beach wedding ceremony and have a relaxing honeymoon at the same time. Contact us today!

It seems like in summer, everyone dreams about going to the beach. And who can blame them? Soaking up the warm sunshine, keeping cool in the refreshing ocean water, feeling sand between your toes, abundant aquatic sea life, the list goes on. But what if you have a beach lover who, instead of dreaming of sugar plums and gumdrops, dreams of green Palms and surf shops? After all, not everyone dreams of a White Christmas; some want a Beach Christmas, and we can deliver. Here's why you should book a beachy vacation for the upcoming winter holidays!
The beach will be less crowded.
Winter is probably the best time of year in California to visit the beach because the summer crowd clears out. No longer will you worry if you’ll be able to find a spot in the sand to lay out your towel. Or concerned that someone will wreck your epic sandcastle. In lieu of snow, spend the day making Sand Angels! As long as it’s not raining, you can have a fun-packed day at the beach, without being surrounded by people. And won’t it be nice to enjoy that crisp sea breeze? If it’s a bit chillier later in the day, just remember to bring along jackets, hats, and a thermos of peppermint hot chocolate!
It’s the coolest time to go surfing.
It’s no secret that winter is one of the best times of the year to go surfing in California. Along with the beach being less crowded as stated above, the California winter waves are a surfer’s paradise. In the article “Surfing California / Everything You Need To Know” from Lush Palm, it states, “A very popular stretch is a surfing road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway between LA and San Francisco.” It later adds that Rincon, located on the Ventura and Santa Barbara county line, is, “...is often referred to as the Queen of the Coast. A long, beautiful, right-hand point break with the perfect pace. Late fall to early spring is your best window to catch her in all her glory. Barrel sections typically on offer with a decent size swell and mid to lower tide. But works on all tides, easterly winds are offshore.”
Speaking of Ventura County, consider adding Oxnard, California, to your list of potential surfing destinations. It’s only 30 minutes away from Rincon, and Oxnard Shores will likely be even less crowded than some of the more well-known beach towns. Plus, Beachy Keen is only 150 steps away from Oxnard Shores, so you can easily pack your surfboard back and forth to catch those timely swells. It’s the perfect gift, so surprise your favorite surfer with a holiday trip to Beachy Keen!

At Beachy Keen, we know those winter sea breezes can be a bit nippy! That’s why we have two working fireplaces and an outdoor fire trough so that you can stay toasty and warm during your stay. Whether you just got back from a laid-back beach day or an awesome surfing adventure, warming up is easy to do at Beachy Keen. Choose to cook a hot holiday meal in the fully-equipped open-concept kitchen or our backyard grill.
