Summer Fun Without Breaking the Bank

by Debra Gallagher

Affordable Ways to Enjoy Ventura County This Summer

One of the best things about living on the Central Coast is that some of the best experiences are completely free.

From farmers markets to concerts by the harbor, there are countless ways to enjoy summer without spending a fortune.

My Ideal Summer Day

One of my favorite summer days begins with Yoga by the Sea at Oxnard State Beach, followed by a Honey Cup latte and a stroll through the Sunday Farmers Market at Channel Islands Harbor. Around noon, I enjoy brunch with live music at Waterside Café before ending the day with a beach walk and sunset at Surfer's Knoll.

My Favorite Summer Activities

  • Visit a local farmers market
  • Attend a free concert
  • Explore Ventura Harbor
  • Chase a sunset
  • Go tide pooling
  • Kayak the harbor
  • Enjoy happy hour with friends
