As Beach Destination, Ventura Has it All
Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010
Those who love beach vacations usually want a great little town to go with it — a place with ambience and cultural flair to go with magnificent scenery. We found all we needed in Ventura, one of those places that we always wondered about as we drove through this area on our way up to other scenic destinations on the Central California Coast. For us, this was drive-by country – scenic, yes, but always someplace we just passed on the way to someplace else. Ventura is located in a place that really is advantageous for travelers. For Southern California residents, it’s an easy drive that takes you just beyond the megalopolis where back-to-back cities finally give way to a coastline that is less overwhelmed by development. Beaches along the Central Coast are great, but if you’re coming from the south and don’t have a lot of time, Ventura is a fun beach destination all on its own. For Northern Californians, Ventura is a just close enough to the “Big City” to be a reasonable base of operations for visits to many L.A. tourist attractions, most within an hour’s drive. Yet, you’re staying in the quintessential California beach community that is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Don’t want to go into the city for a day? Just chill out on some of the state’s most scenic beaches. The one reminder of the city was our hotel – the Crowne Plaza, a former Holiday Inn that is being converted to the more upscale brand name. At 15 floors, it’s the only high-rise in the area and could not be built again with today’s stringent coastal regulations. The hotel offers incredible views of the ocean, the Channel Islands and the verdant hillsides at Ventura’s northeastern edge. The Crowne Plaza is situated so that every room above the second floor offers guests spectacular coastal views. Within minutes of arrival we were walking the promenade that stretches far from the hotel in both directions along the shore. A great beach is just footsteps from the hotel, and there are restaurants and plenty of activity at the nearby Ventura Pier. Bikes and other contraptions are available for rent and, on this Sunday, vendors offered a variety of wares in the plaza just between the beach and our hotel. Just up California Street from our hotel was a colorful small-town shopping district with shops of all kinds, restaurants and a high concentration of antique stores that are fun to browse. Several surf shops are nearby and, like other California beach towns, the feel is more retro than trendy. The historic City Hall sits majestically on a slight hill at the edge of the downtown district, serving to remind us that Ventura really is a town and not just a stretch of uncoordinated beach development. Intersecting with California Street is Main Street and, if you walk just a few blocks, you come upon the Mission San Buenaventura. This mission was established on [...]
Ideas for a Romantic Honeymoon Destination
Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010
Beach destinations remain the preferred decisions for a romantic honeymoon getaway. Honeymoons are the most romantic holiday and just about any chosen destination can turn into a romantic escape for the newlyweds. The following are only a couple of various romantic honeymoon destination ideas. Any of the Hawaiian Islands are always a good honeymoon choice. If you decide to do a little island hopping and visit many islands, or spend your complete honeymoon on one island, you are certain to enjoy this highly romantic destination. The spotless beaches and warm, sparkling blue water are just a couple of the advantages of honeymooning in Hawaii. Hawaii also has a culture of its own and offers its guests the sense of being in a foreign land. While it is dearer than most other popular locations, Bora Bora is another truly romantic honeymoon destination that is worth the cost. It is an out of the way location that is not frequented by many visitors unlike other popular honeymoon destinations. The relative serenity of the islands creates an atmosphere that is wonderful for relaxing with your new partner. Though the majestic mountain ranges and availability of comfy cabins in the woods make Colorado a romantic getaway location, it is truly famous for its abundance of winter sports. Selecting to spend your honeymoon in Colorado affords a couple the romantic destination that also has a selection of exciting activities available. Las Vegas may also be a romantic honeymoon destination. While it is understood as “Sin City,” and is feted for its ostentatious glamour and betting, Las Vegas may also be a romantic location for a couple enjoying their first few happy days of wedding. The area offers a lot of wonderfully designated hotel rooms in a number of styles. This variety makes certain that there is an attraction for every couple in Las Vegas. European locations like England, Spain and Italy are also favored romantic honeymoon destinations. The conventions and culture that surround these countries make them unique in giving a couple the opportunity to surround themselves with historical attractions. Also, if the couple does not speak the local language, it gives them the feeling of being all alone even in a crowded place, which lends itself fantastically to the romantic atmosphere. Mexico is another romantic getaway. The Riviera Maya offers lovebirds a multitude of pretty beaches that are comparatively empty compared to the crowds found in other areas of Mexico like Cancun. Plenty of the resorts in the Riviera Maya are all-inclusive and some even offer room service free. Though it is more popular as a place for fun and adventure, Florida may also be a romantic honeymoon destination. Florida offers a collection of entertainment options from beaches to theme parks and dives. Enjoying a day of rides and attractions at a theme park is a brilliant way for newlyweds to grow closer together. Newlyweds are certain to find everything that they are searching for in Florida. Costa Rica is another romantic honeymoon [...]
