Activities at the harbor

Channel Islands Harbor, with its beaches, waterside dining and oceanfront hotels, offers an escape from the fast pace of city life.

From the harbor, visitors can travel out to Channel Islands National Park. Hiking, fishing, camping, kayaking and scuba diving are a few of the activities available at the islands 12 miles offshore.

The Channel Islands Harbor Water Taxi provides the opportunity to dine progressively, stopping at three different restaurants on a moonlit tour of the harbor.

Special events are offered at the harbor year-round, such as car shows, concerts and December's Parade of Lights. For details, call (805) 985-4852.
