Enjoy 2 Complimentary Excursion Passes to Santa Cruz or Anacpa!

At over 96 square miles, Santa Cruz is the largest island in the Park. Santa Cruz includes three mountain ranges; the highest peak of all the Channel Islands (Mount Diablo rising above 2000 feet,) a large central valley/fault system, deep canyons with year round springs and streams, and 77 miles of craggy coastline cliffs, giant sea caves, pristine tide pools and expansive beaches. Santa Cruz Island lies approximately 20 miles offshore from Ventura Harbor.

The island has varied land forms that support a wide variety of plant and animal species. More than 600 plant species have been documented in ten different plant communities from marsh and grasslands to chaparral and pine forests. There are 140 species of land birds, 11 land mammal species, three amphibian and five reptile species. Large colonies of nesting sea birds, breeding seals and sea lions, and other diverse marine plants and animals can often be seen during transit to the island and from mainland.

The island is exceptionally rich in cultural history with evidence of over 13,000 years of Chumash Indian habitation and over 150 years of European exploration.
