Landing Cove Details

The dock on East Anacapa Island is found in Landing Cove. After climbing a steel-rung ladder, you'll find yourself on solid ground but with more steps to climb -- 150-plus, in fact. Once you're really on the island, you'll find a visitor center nearby and the start of the islands' two-mile trail system. Be sure to keep an eye on the time when you're on-island; the boat you'll take back to the mainland leaves from Landing Cove, as well.
