What Lies Beneath Wall Art Prints
Ventura Pier has stood as a symbol of the region's rich history and natural resources. Ventura Pier is a favorite attraction for fishing, picnics, sunset strolls and beautiful views of Ventura County's coastline and the Channel Islands. Like all California public piers, you can fish for free on the pier so you will often see fishermen tending to one or several lines, and sometimes reeling in a big fish. The pier contains bait and tackles shop, snack shop and souvenir gift store. Surrounding the pier is San Buenaventura State Beach. the pier once served steamships and was a vital mode of transportation in and out of Ventura. In the early days, getting in and out of this harbor town was a challenge. With the advent of the pier and the visiting steamships, the areas rich and abundant produce could make it off to market. New settlers and their supplies also found it easier to boat in than to go over the mountains. The current wooden structure is 1958 feet long and is reputed to be the longest in California. You will find rows of eager fishermen and women lined up with their lines dropped over the rail. There are cleaning stations for those lucky in the hunt. Stroll along miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches; drink in the Victorian elegance of the historic Ventura California pier. Rent a kayak or small electric boat to explore the harbor. Savor fresh seafood or catch your own from the pier or on a Channel Islands sport fishing excursion.
