Anacapa is the closest island to the mainland, just 12 miles from the Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. Most
of Island Packers departures to East Anacapa Island are from our location in the Channel Islands Harbor.
As the spring
bloom fades the
island comes
alive with the
cry of Western
Gulls guarding
their nests of
eggs.
From February through April, Anacapa is a rainbow of color
created by the bloom of native wildflowers. Intensity and duration
of the bloom differs a bit each year due to varied rainfall and
temperature.
Chicks usually hatch at about 5 weeks after
being laid and fledge the nest at about 6 to
7 weeks of age.
The Local Islands
The middle islet and most of the western islet remain a wilderness area set aside for nesting seabirds, like the
endangered California Brown Pelican.
Driving Directions
Anacapa is comprised of
three small islets; East,
Middle, and West.
Exploration is permitted on
the east islet, accessed via
the Landing Cove, and a
small beach on the west
islet called Frenchys Cove.
Trip Preparation
Just as the chicks leave the nest, park rangers begin the "Anacapa Live" video program. Visitors can
experience a live virtual tour of the kelp forest when they watch the video program. Images are beamed up to
the Landing Cove's video monitors. The program is interactive so visitors can listen to, and talk with the divers
via a special underwater communication link. This year there will also be some live guided hikes on Anacapa
you can view online. Click the Anacapa Live button below for additional information.
