San Buenaventura Mission . Church services, funerals, and weddings are still performed there today. There is an original well still standing in the back of the church, and a school for children attached to the side. This mission sits on Main Street in the heart of old town Ventura.
A cross street of Main is California Street, where you can stand on the corner, look up and see the old county courthouse and jail, which is now city hall. The Perry Mason show used to be filmed there.
If you turn around and head towards the ocean you'll come across more shops, and even a haunted hotel. Keep going to the ocean and check out the surfers next to the pier every morning.
