The Channel Islands are a great way to
check out the California coastline, offering a unique perspective. There
are a slew of islands, varying greatly in size, all quite worthy of
a stop.
The visitor center gets the most traffic of any of the Channel Islands
or waterways between, leaving the islands well preserved and serene.
Over one hundred rare or unique species exist on the islands or just
off the coastline. In winter, you can witness the migration of the world’s
largest animal, the blue whale. Summer days can be spent on island trails
or weaving the water aisles between in a kayak or canoe. Scuba diving
and snorkeling are also popular pastimes in these parts.
Its close proximity to Los Angeles makes the Channel Islands a worthwhile
escape from the rigors of the city. Whether your trip is focused on
natural sites or you just want to escape the city for a while, the Channel
Islands are a great choice.
