Tourism
Normally fewer than 200 public visitors set foot on San Miguel Island during a given year.
Visitors are transported to the island by boat. Eight-foot seas are not uncommon in the Pacific between Santa Rosa Island and San Miguel Island.
Rough seas often result in cancellation of excursions. No more than 30 visitors are permitted on the island at any given time, and sometimes fewer than ten campers make the voyage. The National Park Service advises campers to carry an extra day's food and water in the event the pickup needs to be delayed due to bad weather.
