On this #ThrowbackThursday, we pay tribute to the On this #ThrowbackThursday, we pay tribute to the Harbor Hopper! Back in the day, this privately-operated water taxi service helped visitors explore every corner of the Harbor with ease – hopping from shops to marinas to restaurants, all for a small fee. After the original owner discontinued the service, the Harbor Department revived the Hopper from 2000-2009. The Hopper was heavily used seasonally, especially during major events. As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we’re looking back to at all the unique features that have made the Harbor special through the decades. The Harbor Hopper was certainly unique! Do you think this amenity should be brought back? Did you take the Harbor Hopper?

Check out this classic shot of the main parking lot - vintage cars (three in a fender bender), freshly planted palm trees just starting to sway in the sea breeze, and the unmistakable coastal cool of a skateboarder and bicyclist cruising by. So much has changed, yet the laid-back beach spirit remains the same. Here’s to 60 years of sun, sand, and unforgettable memories at the Harbor and our nearby beaches! 🤙 #channelislandsharbor #visitoxnard #vccvibes #oxnard #venturacounty #harborlife #silverstrandbeachoxnard #throwbackthursday

#ThrowbackThursday to a real-life Jaws moment at C #ThrowbackThursday to a real-life Jaws moment at Channel Islands Harbor! On September 8, 1975, just months after the blockbuster movie Jaws hit theaters on June 20, this massive great white shark was caught off our coast — turning fiction into reality for locals. The timing couldn’t have been wilder — the film had beachgoers across the country thinking twice about taking a dip, and then this happened right here in our backyard. While our relationship with marine life has evolved greatly since then, this moment remains a piece of local history. #channelislandsharbor #venturacounty #oxnard #ciharbor #805 #harborlife #harborgoals #ciharborhistory #greatwhiteshark #jaws
