Landing Cove, Anacapa Island
From Islapedia
Landing Cove, East Anacapa Island is located on the north side of east Anacapa Island, where a series of steep steps leads to the top of the island's mesa. Historically, getting ashore at East Anacapa Island was no simple task. The Coast Guard's 26-foot, 7,000 pound boat was hooked to a cable in Landing Cove and hoisted out of the water and 25 feet up the perpendicular cliff by the lower derrick boom, then placed on a custom-made cradle on a rock ledge while passengers and crew sat for the unusual ride.
Today, this is the most popular public access to Anacapa Island. Good snorkeling opportunities exist at Landing Cove.
