Fresh seafood, boating, parasailing, jet skis, and more make Channel Islands Harbor one of the most exciting oceanfront destinations in Southern California. Whether on foot or on the water, the views are spectacular and the recreational opportunities feel endless.

More serene options include Venetian-style gondola rides, a paddlewheel riverboat featuring party themes, and whale-watching trips.

For overnight excursions, accommodations include marina-front spaces with easy access to sailing and other recreational opportunities. For the joggers and cyclists, there are paths to get the blood-pumping while taking in incredible views. Kids will appreciate all the playtime the beach provides while parents can enjoy a good book and a family picnic.

Come with or without plans, Channel Islands Harbor has fun experiences for everyone.
