The Port of Hueneme, shared with Oxnard Harbor District and [[Naval Base Ventura County]], is the only deep water port between the [[Port of Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] and the [[Port of San Francisco|San Francisco]], and the only [[United States Navy|Navy]]-controlled harbor between [[San Diego Bay]] and [[Puget Sound, Washington]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnic.navy.mil/Regions/cnrsw/installations/navbase_ventura_county/about/|title= About|website=Naval Base Ventura County|author=Commander, Navy Installations Command|access-date=March 31, 2019}}</ref>

The harbor is a shipping and receiving point for a wide variety of goods destined for the [[Los Angeles Basin]] and beyond, including automobiles, pineapples, and bananas. Agricultural products such as onions, strawberries, and flowers are shipped. The city receives about $2 million in tax revenue annually from the port.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.keyt.com/news/wheelhouse-plaza-street-fair-highlights-green-mile-cannabis-businesses-in-port-hueneme/1064324491|title=Wheelhouse Plaza Street Fair highlights "Green Mile" cannabis businesses in Port Hueneme|last=Lehr|first=Tracy|date=March 31, 2019|website=KEYT|language=en-US|access-date=April 1, 2019}}</ref>

In 2014, the beach at Port Hueneme had been eroding for the 60 years since it was built as a commercial port, with jetties that block the natural flow of sand. After the US Navy took over the port during World War II, the government had the responsibility to put back the sand that had disappeared.<ref>{{cite news|title=Port Hueneme Beach erosion: Federal gov't stepping in to help|date=October 17, 2014|first=Leo |last=Stallworth|url=http://abc7.com/news/port-hueneme-beach-erosion-federal-govt-stepping-in-to-help/354810/|access-date=June 14, 2016|agency=abc7}}</ref> Funds were lacking until 2013 when it was announced that nearly $12 million in funding would be available to replenish the sand at the beach, the money coming from various branches of the government. Furthermore, there is a continuing, expensive routine to prevent ocean water from sitting on the city streets.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hueneme Beach erosion has residents concerned|url=https://abc7news.com/archive/9456747/|access-date=June 14, 2016|publisher=KABC-TV/DT|date=March 6, 2014}}</ref>
