Wondering what to do with your significant other before baby arrives? Trying to soak in the alone time before life changes a bit is such a great way to embrace these moments that are going to be gone before you know it. There is so much to do in Ventura CA and it is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world. Here are top 10 date night ideas in Ventura CA before baby.

1. SUNSET STROLL ON VENTURA PIER
What is better than a beautiful stroll on the beach. There are so many gorgeous beaches in Ventura that you can’t let one more sunset go before baby arrives, take advantage of the peaceful walks and end with a yummy dinner nearby!

2. SUNSET BIKE RIDE
If your bump isn’t too big yet, you should definitely rent beach cruisers and ride along the strand. You can go from the pier to Surfer’s point and back if you feel up to it! It’s so nice to get moving and active, even in pregnancy, it is super beneficial and this is such a fun way to do it! Check out visitventuraca.com for more info!

3. GONDOLA RIDE IN CHANNEL ISLANDS
I think the perfect date night (pregnant or not) is a sweet gondola ride with your partner. It’s such a fun way to explore but also have that romantic moment and embrace the calm.

4. SPA DATE
Probably one of my favorite self care treats ever but especially during pregnancy! There are so many different spots you can choose from- some of the ones that come to mind in Ventura are Heavenly Healing, Salt Spa Ventura, or Aloha Spa.

5. DINNER BY THE COAST
Dining right on the pier at Eric Ericsson’s is such a fun evening out together- delicious food, breathtaking views and the fresh ocean air to breathe in. So many tasty options at Eric Ericsson’s- check out their menu here!

6. VISIT THE VENTURA BOTANICAL GARDENS: The Ventura Botanical gardens is such a beautiful place to checkout. You can casually stroll around inside and then end the day with a lunch by the ocean.

7. PAINT AND WINE NIGHT
You can obviously skip the wine, or just hand it over to your partner but this is still a super fun and relaxing activity to do with your significant other that’s different than just going to dinner together!

8. DINNER DATE AT MODEL CITIZEN
There are so many new spots in downtown Ventura. Model Citizen is so cute and trendy, it is a must try spot!

9. COOKING CLASS

Check local spots like Ventura Meat Company , or Paradise Pantry for a couples’ cooking class. You can always do this from home too!

10. BOOK A MATERNITY SESSION BEFORE DINNER

This is such a special time in your life, truly goes by so fast and although not every moment is beautiful and feels great, you will look back on this time and you will never regret having it documented
