Ventura beach walk, 7 miles, going north to pier, then Emma Wood State Beach.

Thanks to Isreal's idea for a beach walk, here we go ...

After a small loop south, we'll go north to the end of the pier, then continue to Emma Wood State Beach, our turn-around point. It should be gorgeous with island views at this time of year.

Pace: brisk, but if you're slower, you can catch up when we get to the pier, and not go all the way to end of it.

Meet: in front of boat in the pic. Feel free to play on the zipline.

Time: Arrive earlier (e.g., 12:45PM). The group will wait 15 minutes for you until 1:00PM at the latest. If you get there at 1:01PM, we'll be gone.

Wear: shoes that are comfortable for walking on sand, boardwalk, and pavement.

Bring: water, snack layers, camera.

Parking: free

There are restrooms at meeting place and on pier.

Driving eastbound on Pierpont Boulvard, you'll arrive at Marina Park at the end.
