  Looking for suggestions: Weekend getaway in or near Ventura County We live in Ventura and would like a nearby (2 hour ish drive) weekend getaway. We like small towns with a relaxed vibe and some quaint things to do. Beaches, parks, hiking, small town shopping (consignment store, farmer markets, etc.), small museums of whatever random thing the town is known for, large sea mammals basking in the sun. We've been to and loved SLO, Santa Paula, Ojai. Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Oxnard, Camarillo, feels too close to count like a proper getaway, so ideally a place further away than that. Places like LA are a bit too hectic for our taste. Ideally, something in the spirit of SLO and Santa Paula would hit the spot. I'm looking at the weekend of the 9th of August or the one after. Local festival a plus. We're a sucker for festivals.

  Avalon on Catalina Island. Its like no place you will ever experience on the mainland and one of my favorite local weekend getaways. The ferry out of San Pedro ($75 round trip) is easily within a 2 hr drive. I wouldn't include the boat ride in the 2 hr window as the its a part of the experience. Once on the island there are a lot of good options for accommodations, food and fun/relaxing activities. If you are outdoorsy and like to camp Two Harbors on the north side of the island is a fun place to visit too.

  Catalina Flyer out of Newport Beach. Their # is 800.830.7744. The owner and my father are long time friends. Growing up in Newport I'm partial to them. However, you van take the Catalina Express out of Dana Point. Their # is 800.481.3470. We've also taken a helicopter over many times from Newport but you can also take one over from San Diego. Hope that helps...
