In our short walk on the beach, we saw 4 dead birds, and thousands of dead crabs in the surf. and a seagull who was acting very strangely. Our hotel had a sign saying -- wipe the TAR off your feet -- after walking on the beach. Whats up? What's happening here? We were surprised --- we did have TAR on our feet.

We've walked a few beaches in our travels, but none as impressive as Oxnard Shores! Loved it! The huge expanse of beach was easy to walk and very clean. Go there!

Nice big beach. No crowds. Nice sand and lifeguards. Bathrooms at some locations. Free parking. No seaweed! Only downfall is no outdoor showers to wash off and strong undercurrent in ocean. Would come again for sure!

There is a park next to the mandalay bay resort with a public beach as well. The park has a large playground for kids of all ages and a large picnic area as well as sport area. Beach access is easy.

We were visiting Santa Barbara at the end of July/14, rented a car & explored different beaches in the area. With two kids aged 6yrs & 4yrs old we headed for Oxnard State Beach Park. There is a very nice playground area which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. The beach was very nice, it was quite windy the day we went so the waves were a little bit intimidating for the kids. The only down side was the visible garbage on the beach, I wish people would pick up after themselves. otherwise we had a great time.

Beautifully maintained City Park with large playground for kiddies (Pirate ship and many other swings, slides etc. Besides many nicely maintained picnic tables with BBQ's and a short 200 yard walk you are on the sand with a paved walking, biking path on the beach with many benches to rest and take in the beautiful ocean view of the Channel Islands (Anacapa & Santa Cruz Islands). The beach walk is handicap accessible. You will enjoy it!

Oxnard State Beach Park is between the Oxnard Shores neighborhood and the Embassy Suites hotel; it's a great place for a walk or BBQ. It can get crowded on weekends, especially holidays.
There are clean restrooms and volleyball courts. There is a large children's playground.
It is also the home of Yoga by the Sea, available at 9.30AM and 5.30PM most days.

Oxnard beach is one of the best kept secrets in California. I hope we can keep it that way. The beach is never crowded, never dirty. Sunsets are fabulous ... just remember, when the sun goes down it gets cold. In fact, it can be pretty chilly anytime. Bring a sweater and get ready to walk a beach that extends three miles that hardly anyone uses.

What kind of open ended question is that? If you want to do it literally on the public beach without getting too elaborate, than my thought is that the cost would be zero for the use of the public beach. If you want to do it nicer you can check with the Mandalay beach resort/hotel which is right on the beach at Hollywood Beach. There are many weddings which take place there on the grass looking out on the beach/ocean.
