Channel Islands Beach, California
Channel Islands Beach is an unincorporated community in Ventura County, California, United States consisting of three historic neighborhoods: Hollywood Beach, Hollywood by the Sea, and Silver Strand Beach. This densely populated narrow 1.3-mile-long strip (2.1 km) along the coastal edge of the Oxnard Plain was subdivided using the glamor of Hollywood to sell lots in the mid-1920s since the sand dunes had been used for movies. Adjacent development has left this sandy beachfront neighborhood hemmed in by Channel Islands Harbor and Naval Base Ventura County. The harbor mouth separates them into two communities resulting in a round-about travel route around the harbor between them although the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District provides local utilities services to the entire neighborhood. The Special-purpose district has an elected Board of Directors which provides a forum for the unique concerns of the community. Lying immediately adjacent but outside the corporate boundaries of the City of Oxnard and the City of Port Hueneme, they are governed by the county Board of Supervisors.
The population of this residential community was 2,870 at the 2020 census, down from 3,103 at the 2010 census. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Channel Islands Beach as a census-designated place (CDP).
The census definition of the area may not correspond to local understanding of the area. This unincorporated coastal community overlooks the Santa Barbara Channel. 'olołkoy Beach Park is immediately upcoast of Hollywood Beach and separates the community from the Oxnard neighborhood of Oxnard Shores. Three subdivision maps created the town lots (from north to south and the year recorded): Hollywood Beach (1924), Hollywood by the Sea (1926), and Silver Strand (1925). The mouth of the harbor was constructed over the shoreline portion of the Hollywood-by-the-Sea subdivision. A few of the lots remained on the north side of the harbor mouth with the intact Hollywood Beach subdivision. Although still unincorporated, this neighborhood is adjacent to the harbor and additional housing, both of which are in the City of Oxnard. The portion of the community on the south side of the mouth is more isolated with only one road providing access to the community. A small portion of the Hollywood-by-the-Sea subdivision touches the shore with a much large portion remaining a distinct tract of homes. The Silver Strand Beach subdivision is along most of the shoreline south of the harbor entrance which is near but without access to the Port of Hueneme.
The area is within the Hueneme School District.
This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F (22.0 °C). According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Channel Islands Beach has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.
The 2020 United States census reported that Channel Islands Beach had a population of 2,870. The population density was 6,784.9 inhabitants per square mile (2,619.7/km2). The racial makeup of Channel Islands Beach was 77.5% White, 0.7% African American, 0.7% Native American, 3.3% Asian, 0.2% Pacific Islander, 4.8% from other races, and 12.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 15.9% of the population.
The whole population lived in households. There were 1,332 households, out of which 16.7% included children under the age of 18, 43.2% were married-couple households, 7.2% were cohabiting couple households, 24.5% had a female householder with no partner present, and 25.2% had a male householder with no partner present. 29.2% of households were one person, and 12.5% were one person aged 65 or older. The average household size was 2.15. There were 776 families (58.3% of all households).
The age distribution was 12.7% under the age of 18, 5.3% aged 18 to 24, 23.9% aged 25 to 44, 32.8% aged 45 to 64, and 25.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 51.8 years. For every 100 females, there were 103.3 males.
