When Oxnard Beach Became Hollywood by the Sea
Hollywood-by-the-Sea was a beachfront resort developed in 1926 on Oxnard's sand dunes, which had previously served as filming locations for silent-era movies starring Rudolph Valentino and Douglas Fairbanks. The community capitalized on its Hollywood connection to attract visitors and homebuyers, and it remains a coastal destination today, though construction of the Channel Islands Harbor in the 1960s split it in two.
