Anacapa Island, part of Channel Islands National Park, is the closest island to the mainland, located 12–14 miles offshore. Despite being about 4 miles long, it contains less than one square mile of land. The island is made up of three islets: West, Middle, and East. Public access is only allowed on the East Islet, which features dramatic views, a visitor center, vault toilets, picnic tables, and seven campsites. Anacapa is known for excellent snorkeling, kayaking, and its historic 1932 lighthouse. Visitors reach the island via the East End Landing Cove, climbing a ladder and 157 steps to the plateau. There is no potable water or shade, so guests must come prepared. Wildlife is abundant, including unique plant species and seabird nesting areas.
