Channel Islands National Park - Anacapa

Visited Anacapa, one of the Islands of the Channel Islands National Park. What an extraordinary place and so close to LA. Practically every LAite I spoke to had not visited the park. It is truly magnificent. Went over via boat leaving Oxnard, about an hour from Holywood on the 101. As we headed out of habour we were followed by a pod of 30+ dolophins. Then a plume was spotted and a humpback whale kindly jumped out of the water twice! The island was surrounded by californian seals. whilst seagulls protected their eggs/fuffy chicks and brown pelicans cruised the air like a beast from jurrasic park. Phenomenal day.
