Are you seeing this?! 🤯 Most locals may not know this experience exists. @pacificoffshore launches straight out of Channel Islands Harbor and just went 3 for 3 with their Killer Whale Quests in the Santa Barbara Channel, which includes the Santa Barbara and Ventura county coasts, this past weekend! They spotted Orcas cruising through kelp forests, moms with calves, PLUS humpbacks, gray whales, fin whales, and dolphins everywhere. This isn’t somewhere else. This is right here! 🤩 🎥 @pacificoffshore #channelislandsharbor #visitoxnard #vccvibes #oxnard #venturacounty

Shout out to the Ventura County Harbor Department’

Shout out to the Ventura County Harbor Department’s maintenance team for its cleanup efforts at Silverstrand and Hollywood beaches this month. The late-December 2025 storms washed a significant amount of debris from Santa Clara River on to the beaches. The maintenance team has completed cleanup at Silverstrand and is focusing on the much larger task of cleaning up Hollywood Beach this week. 🏖️🚜🤙 #channelislandsharbor #venturacounty #oxnard #beachcleanup #ciharbor
