Santa Cruz Island is located about 20 miles from the mainland coast, and travel time from Ventura Harbor on one of our swift catamarans is only one hour to east Santa Cruz Island Scorpion Anchorage, or one hour and twenty minutes to Mid Santa Cruz Island Prisoners Harbor. Being the largest Channel Island, Santa Cruz is also the most diverse with interesting geological features including two mountain ranges, many canyons and a rugged shoreline. At least 600 plant species, well over 120 species of land birds including the endemic Island scrub jay, and a vast expanse of wilderness area exist for the curious to explore by land or sea. View the Santa Cruz hiking guide.

East Santa Cruz Island Scorpion Anchorage
Since this part of the park opened to the public in the late 1990â??s it has grown in popularity and is a favorite for both campers and kayakers. Hikers can enjoy a wide range of trails that travel both inland and along coastal bluffs. There is a small pier at Scorpion Anchorage, visitors step from the boat onto a ladder and climb a few rungs to the pier. The beach is a mix of sand and cobble with a small shallow kelp forest near the pier. Facilities include picnic tables both on the sun bathed beach or in the tree shaded area near the historic Scorpion Ranch buildings. There are outhouse style restroom facilities near picnic areas and in the campground.
Camping at Scorpion
Hike in camping is available on the island about 1⁄2 mile up a dirt road from the pier. A picnic table and small storage box is included in each campsite. You must contain and pack out all trash. Be prepared to secure your food and trash from island animals including, mice, foxes, skunks, ravens, gulls and feral pigs. Several outhouse style restrooms are located adjacent to the campsites. Island Packers will transport your camping gear but each packed bag must not exceed 45 pounds in weight. Water and any camping fuel should not be included in packed bags but may be carried on board for special storage. Potable water is available from a public spigot at the campground. No fires are allowed in the campground, propane/gas camp stoves are permitted. During some parts of the year (usually winter) the park ranger may allow fires on the beach in designated fire rings (dura-flame type logs only). You may not transport wood onto the island since it can introduce seeds, insects and tree diseases that can endanger unique island species, check park camping regulations for more information when making you required camping reservation. Camping reservations are required and are made directly with the National Park, for complete camping information in the Channel Islands National Park and to make a reservation go to; http://www.nps.gov/chis/camping.htm .
Watersports
Access to the water is from sand/cobble beach at Scorpion Anchorage where the beach slopes gently to about 30 feet deep inside the cove. Kayaks may be stowed onshore in the designated area (see ranger at island for more information). Water temperature ranges average from 55-65 degrees and is warmest during summer and fall. Anyone spending time in the water should dress appropriately for exposure in cold water, which includes some type of wetsuit. Please visit the watersports page for details including information on kayaking, kayak transportation and guided kayak tours, which are highly recommended. Fishing from the pier or shore within Scorpion Anchorage is not permitted because it is within the Scorpion Santa Cruz Island Marine Protected Area. Fishing outside of the Marine Protected Area is accessible by kayak or by hiking 4 miles to Smugglers Cove. For more information on the Channel Islands Marine Protected areas go to: www.dfg.ca.gov/mrd/channel_islands/index.html
Mid Santa Cruz Island Prisoners Harbor
To access Prisonersâ?? Harbor visitors must step onto a ladder from the boat and climb several ladder rungs to reach the top of the pier. There is a cobble beach with a small estuary at the eastern end that is frequented by many types of shorebirds. There are remnants of the old ranch site that was named La Playa, but the actual ranch house was demolished in the 60â??s. Picnic tables are set up near the scenic beach and also under shade trees adjacent to the beach. A single outhouse style restroom rounds out the facilities available at Prisonersâ?? Harbor.

This area is directly on the property line for the two landholders of Santa Cruz Island, The National Park, and the Nature Conservancy. There are several roads leading into the National Park property and all can be accessed for hiking. Hiking on the Nature Conservancy (TNC) side is limited to permit holders and/or guided hikes with an Island Packer naturalist. Hikers with permits are allowed only on the trail known as the TNC Prisonersâ?? to Pelican Interpretive Trail. This trail is steep and narrow in some places so you will want to pack your water, snacks and other supplies in a backpack or similar style bag. Visitors traveling with Island Packers and planning to hike on the TNC property must sign a release and waiver form in order to participate in the hike. You may download the form in advance or pick one up from an Island Packers receptionist when checking in the morning of the trip. You may hike the Del Norte trail and roads on the National Park property without this waiver. Please be aware that hikers entering the TNC property without first signing a release form are considered trespassing, and there is also no off trail hiking allowed.

Back Country Camping at Del Norte
This primitive camping area is designed for backpack style camping since it is a 3.5-mile uphill trek by trail, or 4.5 miles by road from the Prisonersâ?? Harbor pier. The isolation is well worth the hike and many adventurous campers will stay a night or two at Del Norte then backpack out over 12 miles of rugged island terrain to the Scorpion campground at east Santa Cruz Island. The backcountry hike is strenuous, and recommended for experienced hikers only. Picnic tables and a pit toilet (bring your own toilet paper) are provided at the campground; however there is no potable water available at this site. No fires are allowed in the campground, propane/gas camp stoves are permitted. You must contain and pack out all trash. Be prepared to secure your food and trash from island animals including, mice, foxes, skunks, ravens, gulls, and feral pigs. Reservations are required and are made directly with the National Park, for complete camping information in the Channel Islands National Park and to make a reservation go to; http://www.nps.gov/chis/camping.htm. Before you make your camping reservation you should secure transportation with Island Packers.
Watersports
Access to the water is from sand/cobble beach or the dingy dock at the end of the pier. The beach slopes gently to about 30 feet deep inside the harbor area. Kayaks may be stowed onshore in the designated area (see ranger or Island Packer crew member at the island for more information). Water temperature ranges on an average from 55-65 degrees and is warmest during the summer and fall. Anyone spending time in the water should dress appropriately for exposure in cold water, which includes some type of wetsuit. Please visit the watersports page for details including information on kayaking, kayak transportation and guided kayak tours, which are highly recommended. Fishing from the pier is permitted with a California ocean fishing license.
Seasonal Highlights
All year round an easy stroll to the ranch site at Prisoners Harbor at mid Santa Cruz, or a rugged hike up Scorpion Canyon on east Santa Cruz are both good locations for viewing the endemic island scrub jay.

December through March, migrating gray whales can often be observed from Cavern point on east Santa Cruz or from the coastal bluffs mid Santa Cruz as the whales pass near the island.

From about February through April the grasslands of Santa Cruz Island are green and you are likely to encounter a bloom of native wildflowers. Intensity and duration of the bloom varies a bit each year due to varied rainfall and temperature. The Prisonersâ?? to Pelican trail has some of the best wildflower displays on the island. Scorpion Canyon and the Potato Harbor trail are excellent places to see wildflowers on the eastern portion of Santa Cruz Island.

In summer through fall, the ocean conditions are usually some of the best for kayaking and snorkeling. Island endemic wildflowers including several species of buckwheat, asters, and other sunflowers bloom. During summer there is also a chance to see blue or humpback whales in the deep water during travels to and from Santa Cruz Island.
