Santa Rosa Island is the second largest island of the Channel Islands. The terrain is comprised of rolling hills, deep canyons, coastal lagoons, and sandy beaches. This paddle trip is only accessible by private boat or transportation from either Island Packers, Truth Aquatics, or Channel Island Aviation. It explores the southern shores of the island from Ford Point to Johnson Lee's. On this side of the island you will find long, narrow beaches, sandstone cliffs, and shallow caves and arches to explore. Although this area is more protected and has calmer conditions than the northern side, be sure to check the weather to avoid strong winds and high seas.
