A serene look at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, CA — captured by Diane Laura Schweers.

Channel Islands Harbor has always been one of Oxnard’s most peaceful coastal treasures — a place where the rhythm of the water sets the pace for the day. In the early morning, the marina comes alive quietly, with sailboats rocking gently and the mountains glowing in the distance. Locals stroll the waterfront paths, fishermen prepare for a day on the water, and the harbor’s calm reflects the easygoing lifestyle that makes this community so special.

Your photo captures that feeling perfectly: the stillness of the water, the boats lined up like old friends, and the palm trees framing the scene with classic Southern California charm. It’s a reminder of why people fall in love with this area — the beauty, the serenity, and the sense of belonging that comes from living near the coast.

For residents and visitors alike, Channel Islands Harbor is more than a marina. It’s a gathering place, a scenic escape, and a daily reminder of the natural beauty that defines life in Oxnard.
