Surfer’s Point at Seaside Park

Love coming here, it’s a small area, not to many people, the people around are friendly and it’s a great place to watch the surfers. Alot of area has rocks but there’s some areas with beach to walk around on. I love Ventura and coming here.

The 2016 Unilocal 500, Review #071:
Beautiful place for a romantic beach picnic any time of day… your only enemies would include the wind, cold weather, rain, kids feeding seagulls, an earthquake that makes this beach into an island surrounded by sharks… oh and the ensuing 200 foot tsunami.
All kidding aside, I was here on April 3^rd and it was a bit windy, which means bring a hoodie. I did notice that some surfer’s donned hoods as well.
Parking can be tough, so come early if you want to park in the lot. Street parking was free for 24 minutes, so the tourist types can stroll to the beach, snap a photo, see how the break is (if they even know what that is), use the restroom and then move on.

This place was really awesome to come to after eating lunch. The scenery was gorgeous and on top of that my kids had fun playing with those rocks. It only cost $ 2 to park here and it was well worth it because it is after all a part of the California coastline. This is just another great beach destination!

Great place for hanging out and checking the waves. The $ 2 parking fee is reasonable. The promenade along the shore gives you a nice walkway to stroll along.

This is a quiet little beach in the morning or at sunset. Surf is great but my best memory was walking around in the water with my 7 year old daughter, spending some quality time. Single dad oasis, my daughter really loved it too and thanks to my girlfriend, Monica, who was a wonderful photographer I was able to capture this moment beautifully! Thank you!

A great place to watch the sunset. During the day, come down, ride your bike, longboard, run or take a walk, it’s all good down here!
If you don’t surf, but enjoy watching others do it, this is a nice place. There’s a long lasting break for some nice, longer rides to watch. Enjoy.

I think this spot is amazing for surfing. Yes it is very popular but you just have to remember to use proper surf etiquette and not steal someones wave. I use a very buoyant long board and waves break perfectly where I don’t have to worry about paddling past the break. If you catch a wave just right under the right conditions you can ride it for a really long time towards the pier.

Passing through— Really nice morning at the beach!!! Dogs are welcome and love the water!!! Well worth the stop! DOG FRIENDLY!!! Would stop again!

Off California St from 101 fwy, easy to get here if you’re a tourist & you’re a surfer or like to watch the waves, people surfing, jogging, walk your dogs, sitting on a bench reading, BBQ at picnic tables…
I will be back soon for sure. I parked free on the street and very short distance to walk to the beach. So relaxing being here for maybe an hour…

I love it here. Never overpopulated. The trail goes all the way up through the park and all the way down to Seaward.

Wow! Surfer’s Point at Seaside Park AKA C-​STREET is paradise. The surf is great — especially in the fall and winter as that’s when Ventura breaks best! The rides are long and epic! The views of the Ventura harbor, Channel Islands and iconic Ventura pier are magnificent. I love that the beach here is DOG FRIENDLY. My boyfriend, my dog Calvin and I had a wonderful Memorial Day here this year. We surfed, played ball, went swimming, laid out, took a nap… all in all, an awesome day! Ventura… stay chill! I’ll be back soon.

Hope the surf improve s
Got wet
Any day at the beach is a good day, with surf club friends and a internal contest made this day great even if the waves are not cooperating. my session did not go well in that mush! I need to be a good sport under all conditions.

Dog Beach! My friend and I took our dogs here and it was a lot of fun. If you go to the very end of the paved trail there is an area that is somewhat enclosed by walking down the rocks close to the mouth of the river. You can let your pups off leash here to run around and explore. There were about 10 dogs here while we were here and there is plenty of room for all of them to run around. Its about a 5 minute walk to the parking area. A great place to take your pups on a sunny afternoon!

Cool place to check out kite surfers and/​or surf yourself.
Nice vista of the Channel Islands on the horizon (though the god awful oil rigs they installed ruin any possibility of a nice view).
Nice walk along a paved trail if you park in the Public Parking lot off Ventura.
Fair warning though, like any water of the Pacific, it is freezing cold! So either wear a wetsuit or plan on joining the Polar Bear Club if you plan on going for a dip!

As good as it gets in Ventura. I join other regulars who walk or jog the wide promenade while checking out the surfers catching some amazing waves on good days, or floating on their boards looking out towards the islands as they watch pods of dolphins, or harbor seals on flat days.
The walk from San Jon Rd to the Ventura River mouth passes the pier, and ends up at a lagoon filled with a variety of shorebirds. The beach has tidepools at low tide, and connects with Emma Wood State Beach to the north. or Ventura State Beach to the south which stretches down to the Ventura Marina mouth with lifeguards posted in the summer.
Several parking areas are available between the fairgrounds and the beach, some pay, some free.

One of my favorite surf spots. You can find guys and gals surfing here pretty much any time of the day. Depending on tide and time of the year, entry can be easy along a sandy beach to hard along a high tide, rocky floor when winter rolls in and takes away all the sand. Waves are pretty consistent throughout the year and can just reach epic over head here so be sure to check surfline before showing up. There is a paid lot here which is real cheap or you can park along the road or even at the Condos next to the hotel and just walk down the stairs to the beach. Lots of sea life here. Good chance of seeing dolphins and seals if you are out surfing and paying attention. The view on a clear day like today is breathtaking. You can clearly see Anacapa and Santa Cruz islands. There is a nice dual use bike and walking path here as well.

One of my favorite places, have watched countless sunsets here, fun watching the surfers and listening to the drummers on Friday night in the park, loved listening to the cobbles «singing» at high tide, go and enjoy!!!

My lovely San Buenaventura’s hottest local surf spot – Surfer’s Point. Early morning crew arrives early, most wanting to catch some waves before heading off to work while others delight in the tranquility of an early morning sunrise gently rising from the glistening ocean. However, for most local surfers, it’s the camaraderie shared with one another which brings us back over and over again.
Surfer’s Point is definitely a hotspot for surfer enthusiasts. But, this is also a place where many leisurely stroll the promenade, run, cruise on their bikes, roller blade and skateboard. It’s a serene spot where you can just go to for «peace of mind.»
Many return to Surfer’s Point in the afternoon for a late surf session or to simply watch the beautiful sunsets we have. There’s no other place like it! So, don’t pass this spot up… ever!

Surfer’s Point pretty much sums it up. Great surfing spot, the locals are nice for the most part and you’ll always find parking (even if it’s in the paid lot for $ 2). There is also the bike path that you can jog, bike or skateboard down a few miles in either direction. Nice for taking pictures of the palm trees at sunset and walking around as well as exercising! Thumbs up!

I agree with a previous reviewer… this is not Dog Point. It is Surfer’s Point.
But…but…but…
What if the dog is a surfer?
Awesome spot for tourists and locals alike. Great for sunset pictures or a morning run. 5 stars all around.
