Santa Barbara Island
Channel Islands National Park — ocean access, fishing, hiking
Once visitors have scaled the rugged cliffs using the steep trail from the Landing Cove, they will be rewarded with a campground perched on the bluffs with magnificent coastal views. Santa Barbara lies much further south than the other four northern Channel Islands and is the smallest, measuring just one square mile. The islands’ native vegetation is recovering slowly with the help of the National Park Service’s restoration efforts.
