Inspiration Point Trail Details
After arriving at the boat dock on the east side of Anacapa Island, use the stairway to climb the island's rugged cliffs to begin your hike to the Inspiration Point Trail, which is just past Cathedral Cove. This is the longest trail found on the island, a 1.5-mile round trip. The easily-navigated trail leads to not-to-be-missed views of the Channel Islands. You can combine the trail with the three others found on the island to hike a total of two miles.
