Sutil Island

★★★★☆ (84)

About 700 yards off Santa Barbara Island, Sutil Island is more of a rock than an actual island, rising 300 feet above the water’s surface. Its sides are pocketed with caves above and below water.

You will see plenty of anemones, nudibranchs, scallops, and lots of kelpfish and bass. Also, look for brittle and sea stars everywhere.
