One of the Channel Islands off of Oxnard, Anacapa is an hour ferry's ride from the Ventura/Oxnard port and is a great destination for some serious kayaking. The camping is very primitive. Launching and recovering the boats is done from an elevated pier and challenging. There are tide dependant features and wind and swell conditions can change rapidly. But in about 2 hours of paddling you can see calm bays, boat under huge arches, surf waves, go into caves so dark 3 headlamps barely illuminate it, squeeze through narrow slots between rocks so close you scrape both sides of the boat, be inspected by sea lions and just generally have an unique and adventurous kayaking trip not many have.
