Strength in numbers 84 Members and growing: Join today!
Summer Beach Day is an annual gathering held on the second Sunday in August, bringing together California's commercial fishing community for a day of friendship, great food, and fun.

Hosted by the VCCFA, in cooperation with CFSB and CLTFA this free event welcomes commercial fishermen, their families, crew members, industry partners, support businesses, and those interested in learning more about California's commercial fishing industry.
Our goal is simple: to provide a relaxed, non-political environment where people can connect, strengthen relationships, and celebrate the hardworking men and women who help provide our communities with fresh, sustainable, locally caught seafood.
We invite you to join us for our 3rd Annual Summer Beach Day! Explore this page for event details, directions, and updates. If you have questions, please contact Dave Colker at (805) 663-2152.

Volunteers needed to help facilitate a smooth Event
The easiest way to find it is by using Google Maps.
Coming from either Santa Barbara or Los Angeles can simply take US Highway 101 to Exit 78 and follow Google Maps the rest of the way.
Free parking is available at the beach. Look for the VCCFA canopies and event banners when you arrive.
If you have to park behind the bridge, simply do so and walk to the beach, make a right and go to the end of the road. You will see the VCCFA Banner.
