Oxnard, California

The ride along Route 1 held many surprises.
It is called the coastal road, but for most of
400 miles we drove, we found it quite diverse.
You can see here the different crops being grown.

Horses and cattle grazing on land that
was reminiscent of Montana and Wyoming.

In Morro Bay between the Channel Islands
and the mainland, we counted more that a dozen
oil platforms. They were pumping oil.

The court yard of where we are staying in Oxnard.

Prime real estate along the beach in Oxnard.

This is a popular beach because it is more than
200 feet wide and the sand is not coarse
like beaches further north.

We thought of the Manasquan Inlet when we
saw the Channel Islands Inlet.
Can you see the kayak?

There are more than a thousand boats
docked at the marinas.
