Silverstrand/ Hollywood by the Sea

Nestled as the southernmost jewel in Oxnard’s coastal crown, Silver Strand Beach invites you to bask in the allure of its golden shores and vibrant neighborhood adorned with stunning homes inspired by the magic of the silver screen.

Elegantly secluded, Silver Strand Beach is a cherished retreat accessible through a single entrance/exit down the picturesque Victoria Avenue. Stretching a mile along the coast, this beach is a haven of tranquility, cradled by the Port Hueneme Naval Base to the south and the Channel Islands Harbor inlet to the north. A hidden gem, it remains delightfully uncrowded, as its gentle allure is a trek of 7 miles from Highway 101.

Embrace the rhythm of the ocean throughout the year with a myriad of activities:

Surfing:

Year-round bliss, reaching its peak from summer through winter.

Kayaking:

A serene year-round journey, navigating the close proximity to Channel Islands Harbor.

Fishing:

Spring to mid-fall, cast your hopes for surf perch, calico bass, corbina, halibut, and more.

Beach Bliss:

Summer, spring, and fall unfold a canvas for beachcombers and sun seekers.

Silver Strand Beach, a canvas of surf perfection, beckons local surfers, boogie boarders, and body surfers. Three peaks, each with its character – the Jetty for longboarders, the Bowl firing perfectly in fall and winter, and La Janelle, a sandbar left-hand break enticing goofy footers.

Embark toward the beach’s southern point, where murals painted by local artists, including Evan Mendel and Jess Mavros, grace the walls of Port Hueneme Naval Base. Follow the murals to discover the steel remains of the shipwrecked luxury ocean liner, La Jenelle, an iconic piece of history perched on the jetty.

The calm waters beckon kayakers to explore the shoreline and Channel Islands Harbor, where dolphins, sea lions, and harbor seals grace your aquatic adventure. Fishing enthusiasts find Silver Strand Beach a paradise, offering a bounty of surf perch, calico bass, halibut, and more.
