Parks and Beaches

Channel Islands
Channel Islands National Park is a United States National Park comprised of a series of islands that are located off the coast of Ventura County.  Five of the eight Channel Islands are actually part of the national park: Anacapa, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Miguel, and Santa Rosa.

There are no entrance fees to visit the park. However, a fee is charged for camping on the islands. The fee includes both the National Park Service fee that supports the operation of the campgrounds and a reservation fee by the company that manages the reservation system for the National Parks.
