Hollywood Beach Homes for Sale in Oxnard

Hollywood Beach at a glance

• County land, City on three sides: Hollywood Beach, Oxnard homes for sale are in unincorporated Ventura County on the west side of Channel Islands Harbor. The County’s Coastal Area Plan notes City of Oxnard land on three sides and mostly R-B-H zoning, with some Coastal Commercial.
• Ocean Drive versus the inner streets: Shoreline homes line Ocean Drive, where the County reports nuisance storm flooding every year and no stormwater pumps. Its models show 8 inches of sea level rise could bring tidal flooding to about 10 Ocean Drive homes, and about 5 feet would reach the end of the peninsula and Sunset Lane.
• A wide beach with protected habitat: The 50-acre County beach park approaches 1,000 feet wide near the dunes, where snowy plover nesting habitat is listed as sensitive. Moving sand on the beach beside homes takes a coastal permit and is allowed only to prevent wind-blown sand damage.

Rebuilding near the sand

FEMA’s Zone VE, the coastal high hazard area, calls for stricter building such as elevating on pilings. Under the County rules certified in August 2026, new building in a VE zone or mapped screening area must avoid the hazard or set its lowest structural member 1 foot above the design flood elevation, and a rebuild replacing 50 percent or more counts as new development. Permits needing a hazards report also record a notice in the chain of title.
