Our Beach Schedule

Our Thursday picnics have started, and they will run through mid-September. A few people get there before noon.

I don't tend to hit the sand till 1 pm, but I stay until sunset when the parking lot closes. If the weather's not pleasant (such as overcast and cold like it was last week) I won't go. I live very near the beach in Ventura so if you need a real weather update, call me, 805-701-7661. I'm not glued to the computer every day, so if you really need to get a hold of me, drop me a note through our Meet-Up Group at: https://www.meetup.com/Friends-of-Bates-Beach/discussions/. It's FREE and you can use an alias it you wish.

I understand there are people that can only go on weekends. Hopefully, with COVID easing up, our schedule can become more regular. As of now, our weekend picnics are scheduled for June 19, July 11, Aug 22, and Sept 18. See you soon at our designated area!

I can report that the sun does come out even on the gloom days very late in the afternoon giving everyone a “lovely hour” before sunset, when the park gates were closed. Also, the water seems unseasonably warm, meaning about 61 degrees instead of the usually 55 degrees this time of year.
