Ventura

Blessed with year round sunshine, Ventura, California is settled in between Santa Barbara and Malibu. Sitting along miles of unspoiled beaches, Ventura looks out over the ocean onto Channel Islands National Park and National Marine Sanctuary. Inland from the city is the rugged beauty of the Los Padres National Forest, home to condors, cougars, golden eagles and other wildlife.

Ventura itself provides an array of backdrops and scenes to inspire filmmakers, including a 230 year old mission, a vibrant main street, seaside fairgrounds, and countless surfers. Along with neighboring Ojai, a village known for its Spanish architecture, art galleries, parks, and music and wine festivals, there is no lack of creative inspiration in the area.

With its award winning golf courses, agricultural splendor, dramatic coastline, and consistently warm climate, it’s no wonder Ventura was dubbed the “Land of Endless Summers.”
