About the Business
Welcome to Anacapa Island, a breathtaking gem of the Channel Islands National Park, located just off the coast of Ventura, California. Nestled at 1901 Spinnaker Drive, Ventura, CA 93001, this unique destination offers an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and those looking to escape into the serene beauty of the great outdoors.
Anacapa Island is composed of three islets—East, Middle, and West Anacapa—each offering its own natural wonders. Visitors who scale the rugged cliffs via the stairwell from the Landing Cove will discover a tranquil campground perched on the bluffs, providing stunning coastal views. With only seven primitive campsites available, Anacapa Island ensures an intimate and immersive experience with nature. Campers must bring their own food, equipment, and water, though picnic tables, food storage boxes, and pit toilets are provided.
The island boasts a rich tapestry of natural and cultural history. Explore the two-mile trail system on East Anacapa to witness native vegetation, wildlife, and historical sites, including the 1932 light station. Marvel at the towering sea cliffs, sea caves, and natural bridges, such as the iconic Arch Rock. Anacapa Island is a sanctuary for wildlife, hosting the largest breeding colony of western gulls and the endangered California brown pelicans.
The surrounding waters are a playground for marine enthusiasts. Dive into the rich kelp forests, ideal for snorkeling and kayaking, or relax on the rocky shores, frequented by California sea lions and harbor seals. For those who prefer to stay dry, enjoy ranger-led underwater video programs during the summer months, offering a glimpse into the vibrant marine life.
Access to the island is exclusively via the Landing Cove dock, with boat transportation available through Island Packers from Ventura or Channel Islands (Oxnard) Harbors. Please note that all gear must be brought to the island as there are no services available.
Whether you're hiking the scenic trails, exploring the underwater world, or simply soaking in the breathtaking views, Anacapa Island promises a memorable adventure. For more information on recreational activities and to plan your visit, please visit https://www.nps.gov/chis/planyourvisit/index.htm.
