Ventura Harbor Village - Shopping mall in Ventura - 1583 Spinnaker Dr, USA

If you visit this place a thousand times, you'll still need to visit another thousand to possibly do all you can do shopping, kayaking, dining, boating, taking trips to Channel Islands... Absolutely a must visit if you are a local, from nearby cities, from outer states or from foreign countries. There are various restaurants, fast food, water activities, day and night time activities and events. Clean, safe, beautiful, memorable. Satisfying is an understatement.

There are so many things to eat and do here it's one of the best day stops along the coast. There is always a ton of parking and a lot of spots are just a few hundred feet from the dunes and beach. The food is mostly seafood, but there are also some interesting places like a Cuban restaurant with live music, a fishcone place (ice cream and topping with fish waffles), and most of them have a great view of the harbor and plenty of patios. In one of the courtyards there is giant floor map at scale of the channel islands. The islands, by the way, are just across from the beach and visible even if its overcast. There are often street musicians and on weekends guy with a whole bunch of exotic birds. They have paddle boats with awnings in the shape or swans or dragons and kayaks to rent. You can charter just about any type if boat here. The ferry for the channel islands is here (they offer amazing sealife and perfect kayaking). There are even bikes to rent to drive around the marina.

Great weather, nice boardwalks around the marina and storefront areas. Nice restaurants and stores for all to enjoy. Tours, charters and animal water rentals available.

First time being here and it was a nice trip. 1. Ice cream shop: good flavor for the ice cream, cute little fish cookies. 2. Fried calamari from the fish place, no flavor but the sauce made it better. More of calamari sticks than anything, wouldn't order them again. 3. Rented a small boat to cruise around the harbor which was fun, lots of beautiful homes to see and even a sea lion.

We love coming to the Harbor Village. They have a great selection of restaurants to choose from, an amazing ice cream shop, and beautiful views. They offer boat rides at the pier, a nice walking path, bike rentals...it's a great family place.

Always a fun place to be at! Whether you are going to the beach or whale watching out of the harbor, walk around and check out the shops and grab a tasty bite to eat!

Loved shopping here. Great music all around. Lots of cute little shops to buy souvenirs. Custom shops at every turn.

Such a great place to go just to get out. You can skate, bike, or walk to the beach, restaurants, and shoppes. Local businesses and great food. Live music and entertainment as well. We are so lucky to live here!
