NAS Pt. Mugu, CA Installation Guide

NAVAL BASE VENTURA COUNTY WELCOMES YOU.

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu is located about 65 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, on the Oxnard Plain.  With a 6.5 miles south-facing beach, Point Mugu covers 4,490 acres of land, more than half of which is natural saltwater marsh wetlands.  This setting provides an excellent location for enjoying bird watching or viewing marine mammals in a natural setting.

Our unique coastal location offers an isolated area, which encompasses 36,000 square-miles of fully instrumented and integrated sea test range for the testing and evaluation of weapons and aircraft systems. San Nicolas Island, 60 miles offshore, further extends this coverage and provides an airfield for launching full-scale target drone aircraft and an emergency divert aircraft operating on the range.

Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme/Point Mugu is located on the vast Oxnard plain, northwest of Los Angeles.  The coastal area of Ventura County boasts some of the finest weather available anywhere.  The base itself consists of two sites covering more than 1,600 acres and more than 29 miles of roads and streets.  The Port Hueneme site offers the Navy's only deep water port between San Diego and Washington as well as providing a homeport that furnishes training, administrative, and logistic support for Seabees.  The Point Mugu site is located approximately nine miles from the Port Hueneme site and is host to the E-2 Hawkeye community and other naval squadrons.

We are very proud of the significant contribution of the Navy throughout more than a 50-year history in Ventura County.  NBVC looks ahead to the future, is proud to be at the cutting edge of the Navy s new era of shore station management, and is committed to support a diverse customer base with excellence and responsiveness.
