Ventura is just an hour's drive from Los Angeles and Hollywood. Ventura is located along the scenic southern-most part of California's Central Coast. Early Spanish settlers dubbed Ventura the "land of endless summers". Visitors to Ventura enjoy the abundant arts and cultural activities, outdoor adventures and the rich fusion of agricultural abundance and ocean side proximity that make it a chef's paradise. The Channel Islands National Park lies just off shore as does a National Marine Sanctuary. The Los Padres National Forest is found in Ventura's foothills while two of California's longest flowing open rivers help to form the city's boundaries. Downtown Ventura is home to the Mission San Buenaventura, museums, galleries, dining, and shopping. The Ventura County Fairgrounds is the home of the annual Ventura County Fair. The Olivas Adobe, one of the early California Rancho homes, is operated today as a museum and performing arts venue. Ventura has a great downtown area offering a lot of local restaurants, quaint shops and businesses.
