Cuyler Harbor Beach Access

Cuyler Harbor Beach Access is the only public landing point on San Miguel Island (Channel Islands National Park) and is accessible only by boat via skiff or by aircraft.

Visitors must obtain a permit and liability waiver before landing; the beach features sandy shores and can be challenging to access depending on surf conditions, with landings sometimes occurring east or west of the main beach depending on swell.

A steep one-mile hike leads from the beach to the campground and ranger station, and visitors are required to stay on designated trails; ranger-led hikes and self-guided exploration of the beach and nearby areas are available.
