What Are the Channel Islands in California

CA Channel Islands All 8 Club

CALIFORNIA CHANNEL ISLANDS ALL EIGHT CLUB

In 1994, California Channel Islands research historian, Marla Daily, founded the "All Eight Club"for people who have set foot on all eight of California's Channel Islands. To be able to set foot on all eight of the California Channel Islands is not a simple task. Each of these islands requires very special visitation arrangements. Five of the eight California Channel Islands comprise Channel Islands National Park:

  • Santa Cruz Island
  • San Miguel Island
  • Santa Barbara Island
  • Santa Rosa Island
  • Anacapa Island

Two islands are controlled by the military:

  • San Clemente Island
  • San Nicolas Island

The eighth island, Santa Catalina Island, is run by the Santa Catalina Conservancy.

As of 1994, the Santa Cruz Island Foundation has been searching for individuals who have spent time on all eight California Channel Islands. These rare individuals are eligible for membership in the Santa Cruz Island Foundation's "All Eight Club."

Members of the All Eight Club include biologists, anthropologists, botanists, ornithologists, zoologists, educators, helicopter and fixed wing pilots, a retired National Park superintendent and park employees, a museum director, a lichenologist, a photographer, a retired judge, and a sea captain. This is said to be the most exclusive recognized geographic club in the world, with membership in the low 100s—a tenth of the famous 7 Summits Club.

Membership benefits include an "All Eight California Channel Islands" baseball hat and a membership certificate.

Qualified persons are invited to apply. Click here for the All 8 application. Photographic proof may be required.
