Ventura Harbor Village

A cross between a shopping center and an entertainment venue, Ventura Harbor Village consists of 33 acres of shops, restaurants, rental facilities for boats and kayaks, and cruise launches. Shops include speciality sea shell and hat shops, not to mention plenty of places to find those essential Ventura souvenirs. You'll also find a merry-go-round, a harborfront promenade, a Saturday fishermen's market, and a stage for various entertainments. A visitor center with gift shop helps orient visitors to the area, and a series of ceramic murals graces the complex with artistic beauty. A great destination whether you've got a specific mission in mind or simply want to hang out and take in the ambience.
