Welcome to Oxnard, one of California's most culturally diverse and inviting cities. This is a large city that offers plenty of things to see and do, but a place that feels like everyone's hometown. Only an hour northwest of Los Angeles, Oxnard is the gateway to the Central Coast.

Discover its unique coastal setting and small town charm. Enjoy symphony performances, local theatre groups, ballet and community concerts. Oxnard is home to several important museums and the city is a departure point for the Channel Islands National Park. Only 11 miles off of our coast, this unique, remote National Park is an aquatic adventure not to be missed. Our best kept secret is 7 miles of uncrowded, white sandy beaches that are a surfer's paradise and sun lover's haven.
