Picnicking

©Tim Hauf, timhaufphotography.com

Picnic tables are available for day use on all islands except San Miguel. If weather permits, many visitors enjoy picnicking on the islands' beaches. Visitors must bring their own food and water. (Drinking water is not available on most islands and must be brought with you. Water from natural sources should be purified before drinking or washing with it. Drinking water is available at Scorpion Canyon campground on Santa Cruz Island.) Public pit toilets are available on all islands.

Due to scavenging animals (including birds), please secure food and trash at all times.
