Without further ado, check them out!

10. Sailing In

We are one of the largest recreational Harbors in California. That means there’s plenty of boats coming in and out of the Harbor. If you can’t sail, there is nothing like watching them come in when the sun is setting!

7. Honoring Sgt. Ron Helus

It was a devastating day for the community when Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Ron Helus lost his life during a response to a mass shooting in Thousand Oaks. The Harbor lowered its flags to half-staff to honor Helus, his family, law enforcement, and the victims and families affected.

1. Support for our First Responders 

We were all in shock in November. A mass shooting in Thousands Oaks was quickly followed by wildfires to the south of the Harbor, with smoke creating a doomsday-like backdrop. Fortunately our first responders did a great job and protected our communities!
