It is the quickest free beach access north of Ventura, and even better new railing and ramps down to the beach have been recently added. On weekdays you can find a parking spot and enjoy a wide sandy beach at low tide without a scramble down boulders like in the old days. The Spot and Emma Wood Beach have been part of my life since I was six (a long, long time ago) and is a fitting 'spot' for my 300th Yelp review.

Rest of L.A.: shithole deluxe, packed, and an eyesore till they bleed. So many food options, (GyroMania and Suisen Ramen and Yolanda's my fave) a Vons, (bummed their only sports bar, The Ravern Tavern, closed a year or 2 ago it was nice) plenty of grass, walkable paths, public restroom. No Starbucks, but a Coffee Bean here. Literally minutes from farmers market on Sundays, Toppers Pizza, Peninsula Park for another nice stroll or picnic area next to Hampton Inn, a wide open, free parking and zero crowd Hollywood Beach. Don't think you can find a single soul that doesn't like this area.

You can walk south down the pathway and follow it back up towards the Channel Islands Harbor but you can't cross over. You would have to back track from which you came. It's a good 45-60 minute walk if you start over by the Coffee Bean and head down to the Harbor Island Lane then up along the private property on the water and then back. There are lots of restaurants and business along the marina that has great views and lots of benches along the walking path. There are public park restrooms near the playground. I have come here on my breaks to take in some fresh air and beautiful marina views. I highly recommend walking the pathway.

While I was grateful for the opportunity to rent this facility I have to admit I didn't think…read morethings through(my fault). If you are thinking about renting this facility for a extended party, my rental was 4-11pm, there's a few things you should know... 1. It's an amazing room. Truly. 70 people fit nicely with enough room for a DJ. The park is available for your super young guests and that provides bonus points Definitely... BUT..... 2. You won't need to work out at the gym the day of your party because you'll be required to move gymnastic equipment before and after your party. The bright side? You'll work some muscles!! :) The downside? You'll pay an extra 40 mins to move the stuff which means 1 hour added to your rental price. Sadly while your moving the equipment, you'll realize you paid THEM to move THEIR equipment. Gee whiz. On Top of that you will be sweeping and cleaning the faculty as well, because it might be dirty. With that said, there's a chance you'll be sweaty at the start of your party... Decorating still needs to be done after all! Also when you're super sore the next day...you'll know why. ;) 2. While your moving all the equipment and cleaning, before and after your party, you'll realize what an AMAZING boss you are!! Why you ask? Because you paid a Barranca Vista worker(mandatory) $ 15.00 an hour to NOT help you sweep the room, to NOT help dump trashes at the end of your party. Are they there to help you move the equipment? NAH...they're there just to make sure you move it properly and put it back exactly as you found it, THAT'S it. If you need anything you'll find them sitting in the office surfing the net. Not a bad gig right? You'll also realize you're the best boss ever because you'll also provide dinner for your new employee!! While I would have offered, I didn't need to because she joined the family line for tacos. Again..amazing Boss! :) All of this amazing fun for $700 dollars PLUS a 250.00 dollar deposit. Not bad right? Disclaimer: I'm a non-resident, so residents pay less. Congrats to you. As I said in the beginning, I didn't think things through when I was told about the equipment. I own that. I just feel compelled to help prospective party renters go in with eyes wide open, give personal experience to help them make a well informed decision on whether it's worth the money. Of course everyone's experience is different. Our party was a blast and we'll be back for sure, but it will be a free park party for us. :)

Ventura is changing though, prices at "Antique" stores are outrageous now. Better to go to the Thrift stores, you can find a few of the same items for lots less. On one trip we were looking for a covered candy dish. Antique store wanted $30 - Thrift store - $1 Woohoo! It seems like they are pushing out alot of the more eclectic places and putting in chains like Jersey Mikes and foo-foo chi-chi clothing boutiques. Let's hope the book stores never go.

Also, I have to say that compared to the rest of Oxnard--the food in this particular area is definitely more expensive. And although I do not live here and I'm only reviewing as a visitor, I did live on the lake in Westlake Village and in time, would probably get super bored among the old and crunchy people who inhabit those buildings. For now, I'm awed and happy there's this gorgeous area to enjoy a run, hang out, grab a bite or be pretentious while I'm here. Go Oxnard! :)
