Scorpion Beach Access at Scorpion Anchorage on Santa Cruz Island offers one of the most accessible sandy beaches for visiting the Scorpion State Marine Reserve, located about one hour by boat from Ventura Harbor.

The area is ideal for kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving along the rugged coastline featuring kelp forests and sea caves, though no fishing is permitted within the marine reserve.

Visitors should bring their own water, sun protection, and supplies, as no amenities are available on the island.
