Presentazione generale
Channel Islands National Park
Wild Archipelago of cliffs, marine caves and endemic fauna.
Anacapa Island, Santa Cruz Island and Painted Cave give the most telling landmarks of Channel Islands National Park. Together, they form a destination where the island landscapes, the coastline and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and landscape
Anacapa Island
Anacapa Island appears from the boat as a line of carved volcanic cliffs, punctuated with lighthouses and marine arches. On site, short trails give access to spectacular views of the ocean, bird colonies and other islands when the mist rises.
Nature and landscape
Santa Cruz Island
Santa Cruz Island offers the most varied version of the Channel Islands, between sheltered coves, grassy plateaus, dry canyons and marine cliffs. From Scorpion or Prisoners Harbor, hikes reveal an undeveloped island, where kayaking and wildlife observation quickly take precedence over everything else.
Place indismissible
Painted Cave
Painted Cave opens in the cliffs of Santa Cruz Island as an immense marine cave, accessible only by boat or kayak when the sea allows. The dark walls, the colorful reflections and the echo of the waves give a very physical visit, dependent on the swell and light.
Place indismissible
Scorpion Anchorage
Scorpion Anchorage Often serves as an entrance door to Santa Cruz Island, with a small beach, an old ranch and trails that quickly climb to the cliffs. It is also a good starting point for kayaking in the marine caves or a day of walking over surprisingly clear water.
