The closest of the Channel Islands, Anacapa Island
is 12 miles southwest of Oxnard and 14 miles from
Ventura. By boat it takes around 1 hour to get
there. It is more like a series of 3 small
land masses stretched over five miles but its skinny, spectacular total land area is only about
one square mile. Is it any wonder that the name Anacapa from its American
Indian name, derived from the Chumash word, "Eneepah", means island
of deception or mirage.
For many, at the east end of Anacapa a natural bridge
has formed in the ocean, the forty-foot high Arch Rock is the trademark of
Anacapa. It formed from ocean waves that have
eroded the perimeter of the island, creating steep sea cliffs towering hundreds
of feet in height and exposing the volcanic origins of air pockets, lava tubes,
and sea caves.
Did You Know?
The Anacapa
Island lighthouse, turned
on in 1932, was the last permanent lighthouse that was built on the west coast.
