From dolphin sightings to scenic hikes, ocean views and even camping possibilities, Channel Islands National Park has something for everyone.
You don’t have to travel to the South Pacific to entertain dreams of desert islands. There’s a chain of uninhabited islands — Santa Cruz, Anacapa, Santa Rosa, Santa Barbara and San Miguel — just off the coast of California, all easily reachable for a day’s jaunt, an overnight or more. No shipwrecks or Robinson Crusoe shenanigans required.
On a clear day, the Channel Islands can be glimpsed from Ventura Harbor Village, your starting-off point for ferry service to Santa Cruz, Anacapa and the other uninhabited islands. Island Packers provides ferry service to Channel Islands National Park, dropping off guests at Scorpion Cove on Santa Cruz Island, for example.
Just make sure you’re back from any day tripping before the final ship leaves the dock, or you may find yourself camping out without any of the comforts of REI. Back on the mainland, Ventura Harbor Village invites exploration, too. The waterfront shopping complex is home to restaurants, shops, a comedy club and three escape rooms. If you prefer to take your kayak or SUP out into the protected harbor rather than an island cove, you can rent that watercraft here, too.
