The year is 1769, and the Spanish arrived on the Coast of California, known then as Alta California. The Portolá expedition was the first recorded European exploration of the interior of present-day California. The expedition encountered, documented, and traded with the Native Americans up and down the coast, including our local Chumash.

It all started in the early 1900s with the need for an easier transportation route between Ventura and Santa Barbara. US Route 1 along the Northern Ventura coast toward Santa Barbara is one of the oldest and most historic overland corridors in California.

We love a little, actually, a lot of outdoor time! Countless possibilities of adventures - from a National Park to a hike up a little creek. We sure are lucky to live here.

6 Miles north of Downtown Ventura, along the PCH lies Faria Beach Colony. Faria is 11 miles of community, divided by Mondos Cove, aka“The Cove” a sandy, crescent beach famous for its gentle and consistent waves.
