Nestled in a picturesque valley Ojai is a beautiful small quaint town in the heart of central coast California. Just north of Ventura and 90 minutes from Los Angeles. There's always something new to explore in Ojai, from the locally owned boutiques with charming little art, history museum in downtown to a unique cafes.
You can ride a bike all the way to Ventura on the protected bike path, amidst spectacular natural scenery. Lots of outdoors activities for the whole family such as: horseback ride, mountain bike, rock climb, hike, golf or play tennis. Surrounded by scenic hills and aromatic orchards, Ojai is the perfect place for a rejuvenating retreat. It's like a mini-vacation to come even for the day.

| Residents of Ojai seem to have a magic touch. Citrus fruits grow happily in most of their home gardens. |

| A great find while on the road . The Navy
Missile Park at Point Mugu, a hidden gem that is free for all to stop by at and
learn about our military history. |

I visited California years ago, I've only visited the main cities. I wish I had more times to visit the national parks. There is just so much to see.
