Confirmed from Harbor View Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering a public restroom, and sea lion sightings, plus free summer concerts.
What runners say about Harbor View Park
“Beautiful spot and a little kayaking gives you sea caves, beaches and Scorpian campground & trails”
“Very beautiful and serene especially in the early mornings.”
My fur babies favorite place to walk. He loves chasing squirrels and watching the sea lions. The perfect spot to walk your fur babies and enjoy the scenery or just sit by the water on a bench and enjoy a good book, or just a stroll along the water edge on a nice day.
This is actually Little Scorpian Anchorage on Santa Cruz Island at Sunset and moonrise. Beautiful spot and a little kayaking gives you sea caves, beaches and Scorpian campground & trails
I went for a walk here with my friend. We drove up from Simi Valley to enjoy the harbor. All but one of the bathrooms are for Harbor Tenants, and are locked. The one the is open is still very nice. The park is beautiful and the harbor even more enjoyable. Quiet, peaceful, scenic, gorgeous.
Pretty green space along the harbor. Lots of people walking along the waterfront, playing with dogs, and enjoying the great weather. Park has picnic tables and a restroom.
