Ocean's Edge Trail takes you along Emma Wood's mixed rock and sand beach to Seaside Wilderness Park, where pine and palm trees rise above low sand dunes. The nature trail explores wetlands, including a second mouth of the Ventura River, a lagoon and sand bars.
Emma Wood State Beach is located west of Ventura. The family campsites are two miles west on Highway 101 (State Beaches off ramp). Ventura River Group Camp is at the west end of Main Street in Ventura.
