Boater's Guide

The Bay Foundation has created this user-friendly, interactive Boater’s Guide for those embarking on a Southern California cruising adventure. The Guide provides comprehensive information about each harbor in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties, including each harbor’s unique features, how to get a guest slip, locations of waste disposal and fueling facilities, what to see and do in and around the harbor and much more. It also contains an aerial photograph and an interactive detailed map of each harbor. Additionally, the Guide has a selection of website addresses with additional information about each harbor. Surf them as part of your pre-trip preparations to learn even more about the adventures that await you and your cruising companions.

In addition to highlighting Southern California’s harbors, this Guide also provides general information that boaters will find useful for ensuring a safe, pleasurable, and environmentally-friendly outing.

The Southern California Boater’s Guide was created by The Bay Foundation for the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways Clean Vessel Act Boater Education Program.
