Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary

University of California Santa Barbara, Ocean Science Education Building 514, MC 6155, Santa Barbara, CA

Located just 20 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara are the Channel Islands and a 1,470-square-mile area rich in marine life. The visitor’s center features exhibits but you’ll really get to experience the sanctuary by joining charter adventure tour guides like Channel Island Outfitters to enjoy the marine sanctuary with canoeing and kayaking tours.
