Water activities begin at the beach, just a block from Channel Island Shores. Boating, scuba diving, and swimming also are offered close to the resort. Deep-sea fishing is very popular, with an abundance of good catches found along the coast. Back on shore, play a round of golf five miles away or enjoy one of the area's tennis courts. All the attractions of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Malibu Beach are within driving distance.
