Ventura Harbor Village is a dog-friendly coastal destination offering plenty of fun for both you and your dog. With a scenic walking promenade that stretches from Derecktor Marina to the Channel Islands National Park Visitor Center, it’s an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll with your pup. Along the promenade, you’ll find stunning harbor views and plenty of space for your dog to explore, making it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Plus, Ventura Harbor Village provides doggie bag stations and a convenient doggie water fountain near the Channel Islands Courtyard to keep your pet refreshed.

In addition to its dog-friendly promenade, many of the restaurants and shops at Ventura Harbor Village cater to canine companions. You can find dog-friendly patios at various restaurants, and some even offer treats for dogs. Coastal Cone & The Parlor takes it a step further, serving three flavors of “Pupcream” specifically for your furry friend. For a more adventurous experience, Ventura Boat Rentals allows you to bring your dog along for rides on electric boats, pedal boats, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards, giving your pup a chance to enjoy the water.

Throughout the year, Ventura Harbor Village hosts dog-friendly events, including the popular Annual HOWL-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest in October. With ample space for your dog to roam, dog-focused amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere, Ventura Harbor Village ensures that your seaside outing will be fun and relaxing for both you and your dog.
