A hidden gem in plain sight
Twenty-six miles across the sea. One unforgettable journey.
Channel Islands National Park protects five rugged, remote islands where windswept cliffs meet kelp forests teeming with life. Kayak sea caves, hike coastal trails, or camp under starry skies as you experience one of California’s last wild frontiers. Just a short boat ride from the mainland, your island adventure starts here.
