Moving to Port Hueneme, CA
About Port Hueneme
Port Hueneme is a small beach city on the Oxnard Plain, home to Naval Base Ventura County's Port Hueneme installation — the West Coast home of the Navy Seabees — and the Port of Hueneme, one of California's busiest deep-water commercial ports (notably for autos and fresh produce). The city pairs a working waterfront with Hueneme Beach Park and the historic Port Hueneme Lighthouse. Housing is a mix of beach cottages, military-adjacent neighborhoods, and newer developments, and it is among the most affordable coastal options in the county. Employment is dominated by the naval base, the port, and related logistics.
