Santa Barbara Island
Santa Barbara Island is the only southern Channel Island in the park. This island is the smallest of the
Channel Islands, yet it is big on wildlife and adventure. Located about 55 miles from Ventura County, travel
time is 2.5 to 3 hours depending on which harbor of departure. The longer channel crossing increases the
opportunity to see a variety of wild life such as whales, dolphins, and seabirds.
Visitors step from
the boat onto a
ladder and climb to a
small dock. From the
dock there is a ½
mile trail that leads
to the top of the
island.
Like the other Channel Islands, the
spring wildflower bloom is colorful,
yet many of the endemic plants
actually bloom in the summer and
fall, on this island
There is no potable water and no shade trees on this
island, so bring ample water, a hat or visor, and
sunscreen.
This small island is
rich in native flora,
with a number of
island endemics.
The isolation of this
island makes it an
ideal place for many
species of nesting
seabirds and also for
breeding seals and
sea lions.
