Channel Islands National Park
Only 90 miles from one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world rests an ancient island chain known as the Channel Islands. In total there are 8 islands off of the Southern California coast but only 5 of those are part of the Channel Islands National Park. From East to West the islands are known as Santa Barbara Island, Anacapa Island, Santa Cruz Island, Santa Rosa Island, and San Miguel Island. Getting to the islands is easier today than it has ever been. Boats depart from Santa Barbara Harbor, Ventura Harbor, and Channel Islands Harbor all year-round. Each island has a campground and is serviced by ferry through Island Packers. Service to Santa Cruz Island occurs almost every day of the year, while service to the outer islands is limited and usually occurs during the Summer.
Kayaking the Sea Caves of the Channel Islands has become known as a 'bucket list' adventure. Come explore natures wonder with CIO!

Santa Barbara, California
With a warm Mediterranean climate, Santa Barbara is a pretty glorious place to live and visit. The coast of Santa Barbara is at the base of the Santa Ynez Mountains, a transverse (runs East to West) mountain range, thus creating a terraced community of homes known as the American Riviera. The coastal mountains and beautiful sandy beaches of the Santa Barbara Coast make for some amazing kayaking and backpacking adventures. Surfing, swimming, sailing, and Stand-Up Paddle boarding (SUP) are also popular ways to explore the beauty and peaceful waterfront on the coast.
