• The perfect place for a half-day, one-day or short overnight camping trip. If you have time to visit just one island, this may be the place.
  
  
• Almost all trips to Anacapa are to East Anacapa Island. A limited number of trips are offered throughout the year to Frenchys Cove on West Anacapa Island.
  
  
• Although hiking options are limited with only two miles of trails, the scenery is unmatched. Except for the staircase to the top of the island, the trails are relatively flat and easy. Access to West Anacapa is from the water only and is limited to Frenchys Cove.
  
  
• Ideal place for swimming, snorkeling, diving, kayaking and fishing*. Since Anacapa is a cliff island, access to the water is only at the landing cove on East Anacapa (no beaches) and at Frenchys Cove on West Anacapa.
