Channel Islands Harbor
Description
Channel Islands Harbor is a larger working harbor that offers fun-filled activities for the whole family – without the crowds. Whether seeking solitude or enjoying its number of events, Channel Islands Harbor is an escape from today’s fast-paced world Neighbor to the scenic Channel Islands, Channel Islands Harbor is a working harbor that offers fun-filled water activities for the whole family. About an hour’s drive from Los Angeles, the Harbor features several beach-lined parks and coastline for picnics and surfing, as well as nearby biking and walking paths. While at the Harbor, visit our many shops and dine at one of several restaurants with menus ranging from deli sandwiches to Brazilian cuisine. Be sure to check out the Channel Islands Maritime Museum with its ever-changing exhibitions, world-class maritime art, and ship models.
The Harbor has dive centers, boat charters and yacht clubs. For fishing enthusiasts, there are sportfishing excursions throughout the year. See majestic whales off our coastline from December through April on one of our daily whale watching excursions. With nine full-service Marinas, the Harbor provides berths for 2,150 boats, and for visitors’ safety the Harbor Patrol is on duty year round, 24/7.
Discover the unique ocean environment of five offshore islands through the Harbor’s variety of excursions to the Channel Islands National Park. The islands are home to more than 2,000 terrestrial plants and animals, ranging from plankton to blue whales. These beautiful islands are an extraordinary experience, and just a short boat trip from the Channel Islands Harbor.
Relax along the waterfront, dock in its harbor, or take a voyage of exploration to the remarkable Islands and Marine Sanctuary and discover Channel Islands Harbor for yourself.

A makeshift memorial rests outside of the U.S. Coast Guard Station Channel Islands to remember those aboard the Conception, a dive boat involved in a tragic incident at Santa Cruz Island yesterday. Our deepest condolences to all those impacted by this horrific incident. ❤️

This morning Ventura County Harbor Patrol transported the Ventura County Fire Department on Boat 15, a vessel both agencies share, to respond to a boat fire near Santa Cruz Island. According to reports, there were 39 people aboard Conception, a 75-foot dive boat based out of Santa Barbara Harbor. Five people, all crew members, were rescued by “Grape Escape,” a good Samaritan vessel. Multiple agencies, led by the U.S. Coast Guard, also responded to the incident and a search and rescue effort for the remaining people aboard is underway. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the first responders and the people aboard the Conception, their families, and the Santa Barbara Harbor community.
