Beginning Saturday, June 3, residents can once again board Santa Clarita Transit’s Summer Beach Bus to travel to Ventura Harbor on Saturdays and Sundays. Santa Clarita Transit is excited to bring back the popular service, which allows residents to ride to the beach with ease on one of the City’s comfortable, air-conditioned commuter express buses. The Summer Beach Bus runs from Saturday, June 3 through Sunday, Sept. 3.

Santa Clarita Transit is excited to announce a new beach location for 2023. The Ventura Harbor provides many fun attractions for visitors. These include the Ventura Harbor Village, Harbor Cove Beach, the Visitor Center at Channel Islands National Park, the Ventura Yacht Club and much more. Visitors can also rent many types of water toys at the Harbor.

Riders may pay using the simple Token Transit mobile app by using the stored value on their TAP card or in exact cash, however, monthly passes will not be accepted.

Buses will depart from the Via Princessa Metrolink Station and the McBean Regional Transit Center.
