Isolated pier structure with no visible marina facilities, slips, or parking infrastructure.
Emergency Contact (Prisoners Harbor, Santa Cruz Island) lies on the northern coast of Santa Cruz Island, one of California’s Channel Islands. The marina fronts the Santa Barbara Channel in the Pacific Ocean, offering boaters a sheltered landing amid the island’s rugged shoreline and kelp forests. It accommodates recreational vessels for day trips, overnight cruising, and access to nearby anchorages within the Channel Islands National Park.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
