Channel Islands National Park

Spending the weekend on Santa Cruz Island, hiking along its rugged trails, you’ll encounter sweeping views of pristine beaches, towering cliffs, and hidden coves. Along the way, the island’s abundant wildlife greets you—curious foxes, playful sea lions, and vibrant birdlife all add to the magic. The surrounding waters, teeming with dolphins, seals, and the rare whale, offer a glimpse into a thriving marine world. As night falls, the quiet solitude and sparkling stars above create a serene end to an unforgettable day.
