Channel Islands Harbor Discover it for Yourself

Neighbor to the enchanting Channel Islands, and one of the West Coast's most active boating Harbors, Channel Islands Harbor is a blend of scenic water activities and working harbor.

Less than an hour from Los Angeles, Channel Islands Harbor is a resort and recreation area, with dive centers, kayak rentals, boat charters, yacht clubs, sportfishing and nine full-service Marinas providing berths for 2,150 boats. It also hosts the Ventura County Maritime Museum. There are scenic bike paths nearby, as well as three golf courses within six miles.

As gateway to the Channel Islands, the Harbor offers a variety of excursions and opportunities to visit the Channel Islands National Park, a unique ocean environment of five offshore islands.  Here, isolation has allowed magnificent diversity in evolution, with species ranging from plankton to the blue whale and more than 2,000 terrestrial plants and animals.  These beautiful and fragile islands are an extraordinary experience, 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.
