Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Carpinteria Bluffs are now preserved as open space. The trail down to the bluffs leads through quiet, open meadows and a long row of stately eucalyptus trees. An easy trail along the bluff edge to the Chevron Oil Pier observe harbor seals on the beach.
There is access to the beach just east of the pier, leading down to a long sandy beach where you can enjoy a mile of secluded walking down to Rincon Point. To the west you will need to walk through the Chevron parking lot to reach more of the Carp bluffs. These will lead you along a very pleasant set of overlooks and eventually down to the ocean's edge. From there it is a bit more than a mile to the state park. sbtrails.org/carpinteria-bluffs

Omer Rains Coastal Bikeway Trailhead (Emma Wood State Park)

Highlight • Cycleway

The Omer Rains Coastal Bike Trail was named after a prominent local politician and environmentalist and offers a scenic journey along Ventura's Pacific coast. Starting at San Buenaventura State Beach, the trail features dramatic ocean views, Channel Islands vistas, and sightings of local wildlife such as raccoons, songbirds, and great blue herons. It begins by passing through Ventura’s waterfront promenade, to the historic Ventura Pier. Continuing west, the trail reaches Surfers' Point and then parallels the Ventura Raceway before turning north at the Ventura River mouth. This part of the trail passes under US 101 near Emma Wood State Park. Emma Wood State Park is a lovely spot on the water where you can enjoy the views or leave your car, making it a great spot on the coast to start or end your ride.
