About San Buenaventura State Beach
Access to the shoreline here centers on an entrance at 901 Pedro Street, reached directly off the 101 Freeway. The park protects a stretch of coastal beach along the California shoreline. Its layout ties the sand directly to a major highway exit, making the beach itself the main feature of this stretch of coast.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
