What to Bring
Concertgoers are encouraged to bring picnic food, blankets and lawn chairs.
Harbor View Park provides open green space where families and groups can spread out, listen to the music and enjoy views across Channel Islands Harbor. Admission is free, and nearby restaurants, shops and harbour attractions make it easy to plan a full afternoon in the area.
Arriving early can help you find a comfortable place before the performance begins.
Make It a Weekend by the Sea
Concerts by the Sea are a natural addition to a Silver Strand Beach getaway.
Spend the morning near the ocean, explore Channel Islands Harbor during the afternoon and settle in for live music before returning to your private holiday home.
Pacific Paradise gives families and friends the flexibility to enjoy the area without rushing through the experience. Instead of treating the concert as a short day trip, you can build an entire coastal weekend around it.
Prepare a picnic together, enjoy the show and return home for a relaxed evening with your group.
