Anacapa Island is a small
volcanic island located about off the coast of
Port Hueneme, California, in
Ventura County. The island is composed of a series of narrow islets long, oriented generally east-west and east of
Santa Cruz Island. The three main islets, East, Middle and West Anacapa, are collectively known as "The Anacapas" by some authors. All three islets have precipitous cliffs, dropping off steeply into the sea.
