7 Best Southern California Islands! | Best of LA


Limo services transfer people to dozens of Southern California islands, from the larger natural preserve islands to smaller quaint community islands. Most larger islands are part of the California Channel Islands, an island group compromising eight islands off the Southern California coast. 

Tours to these islands are becoming as popular as Malibu wine-tasting tours. Five of these islands make up one of the few National Parks found in the LA region - namely the Channel Islands National Park. A beloved destination for LAX transfers and tourists visiting LA, this national park has been called “North America’s Galapagos.” People come here to unwind from their busy days in the city by enjoying nature in an almost entirely desolated area of wildlife, beautiful cliffs, green hills, and endemic native California nature. 

For those wanting the Channel Island experience, but also a few bars, restaurants, hotels, and maybe guided tours, Santa Catalina Island is a popular choice. Here you have so many eatery and wine-sipping choices that even wine-tasting tours have become popular in the town of Avalon. For those wanting the less isolated island to feel closer to town, visiting Balboa Island or Balboa Peninsula can be a lot of fun and is attached to the mainland. A visit to this island is common for locals and tourists alike - for LAX transfers and local LA party bus and limo rentals.

For whatever occasion, there’s an island for you in Southern California. Looking for a romantic getaway with your significant other? Catalina Island has been named “The Island of Romance”, while the Italian feel on Long Beach’s Naples Island is guaranteed to also be a successful pick if you know what to look for. So without any further due, let us present the “7 Best Southern California Islands”!

7. Anacapa Island

Just 11 miles off the coast is where we find the smallest and closest Channel Island to the mainland. If you’re looking for a genuine Channel Island-experience, but would prefer not to spend the whole day getting there and back, Anacapa Island might the best choice for you. 

Here you can discover what California once looked like, and with just 700 acres of land, the island is easily explored for even the laziest amongst us. Tourists using our LAX transfers just last week told us about all the unique indigenous species found here and nowhere else on Earth, including the deer mouse Peromyscus Maniculatus Anacapae and several species of lizards and salamanders. More interesting might be the large bird habitat of gorgeous nature consisting of ocean arches, caves, blowholes, and steep cliffs. As it is the most accessible part of the Channel Islands National Park, our limo services often transfer locals and tourists for departures to Anacapa. 

6. San Miguel Island

One of the most difficult islands to reach, few people have put their feet on San Miguel Island. Being the westernmost of the California Channel Islands, it’s just one day tour scheduled here for 2017. Reached by boat tours offered by Island Packers, this over the 9,300-acre island is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to visit. 

San Miguel Island is home to over 10,000 Northern fur seals, which occupy large coastlines of the island. The fourteen-mile trail that goes around the island is popular for Los Angeles limousine clients and almost guarantees numerous wildlife sights, including sea lions, seals, sea birds, and numerous other species. Besides ferry tours by the Island Packers, San Miguel can also be visited through Channel Islands Aviation which flies here from Camarillo, CA. While Santa Catalina and Avalon is a more popular choices for cinematic tours by limo services, various movies have been filmed at San Miguel. A few examples include Lifeboat (1944) and the movie Mutiny on the Bounty (1935).

5. Santa Cruz Island

Island Fox on Santa Catalina Island
Maybe the most popular destination in the Channel Islands National Park, our limo services and LA party bus vehicles transfer many clients to the Ventura Harbor for rides to Santa Cruz. Being the largest island in the state, the nearly 100 square mile island might have the largest populations of Island foxes, an endemic species found nowhere else on Earth than the Channel Islands. 

Nicknamed “the North American Galápagos”, the island has many indigenous animals and plants unique to the island. Besides that, the island is also home to one of the largest sea caves in the world and also is famous for its many Bald eagles, Island scrub jays. Some of the beaches here include the Potato Harbor and Scorpion Harbor. The island has been inhabited for over 9000 years, and many Chumash artifacts and cave paintings have been discovered in Santa Cruz. 

The island dubs for a Pacific island in the film The Rescue (1929), while it is featured as the fictional San Felix Island in the 2011 episode "Blood and Sand" of the TV series The Mentalist. We have had tourists using LAX transfers for their departure to Santa Cruz Island.

4. Naples Island

Being a neighborhood in Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, Naples Island is the easiest of these islands to visit. Being known as one of the most romantic destinations in Los Angeles County, many combine their wine-tasting tours or other romantic outings with a visit to Naples. 

With its beautiful canals, gorgeous walkways, and elegant restaurants, visiting the island by limo services will make you experience the island to its fullest. Kayakers are a common sight in the canals and the island is famous for its Italian-inspired street names and Italian pizza diners such as Domenico and Ragazzi. Other popular sights here are the Naples Plaza and La Bella Fontana di Napoli. An artificial island built in 1900, the 0.25 square mile island might be most visited by limo services during the holidays when houses, bridges, canals, and boats are decorated with Christmas lights and decorations. What could be more romantic than limo outings or wine-tasting tours combined with a visit to Naples?

3. Santa Rosa Island

One of the sandiest islands in Southern California, the natural beauty of Santa Rosa Island will leave you breathless. A part of the Channel Islands National Park, the nearly 53,200-acre island is located - just as Catalina - 26 miles off the California coast and is part of Santa Barbara County. Los Angeles limousine travelers will love the unlimited amount of recreational activities available here, as opportunities for hiking, kayaking, scuba diving, camping, photographing, and wildlife viewing are endless. 

Many species are found here, including but not limited to the Island fox, Channel Islands spotted skunk and many other species of flora and fauna found nowhere else. Its natural beauty makes this one of the most popular island destinations for our LA party bus and Los Angeles limousine services.

2. Balboa Island

Welcome to Balboa Island
Balboa Island and the nearby Balboa Peninsula in Orange County’s Newport Beach are our number two top picks for the best Southern California islands. Here you can discover beautiful sandy beaches, gorgeous beach homes, and a quaint little town of neighborhood shops and eateries. Their Balboa Bar ice cream is unique to the island and a must for visitors to try out! We’ve even had LAX transfers going straight from LAX to Balboa Island with tourists that have read up on the island and wanted to discover it for themselves. 

If you bring your children along, make sure to make a stop at the Balboa Fun Zone and try out their famous Ferris wheel and other rides! The historic Balboa Pavilion is another must, which appears on both the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and is a designated California Historical Landmark. For many traveling by Los Angeles limousine, a stroll along the beaches and tiny town community might be sufficient. 

Some order cinematic tours by limo services to Balboa Island. Some of the classic movies made here are All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), Joan of Arc (1948), and The Reckless Moment (1949). The Balboa Ferry is featured in the 1971 episode “Dead Weight” of Columbo. Most of the 1988 film Girl Cottage was also filmed here, as well as Magic Hour (2015). Whether for a date, dinner, signature-Balboa ice cream, shopping, or movie tours, book limo services to Balboa for a memorable getaway.


1. Catalina Island

Avalon Catalina limo services
The only island that “has it all”, Santa Catalina Island has been a popular Los Angeles limousine spot for over twenty years. Clients most often ride by ferry from San Pedro, Dana Point, Newport Beach, or Long Beach with either the Catalina Express or Catalina Flyer. Many also decide to visit the island by helicopter or airplane, offered by for example Channel Islands Aviation. 

At Catalina, you’ll have lots to do. With its own casino, golf course, many shops, bars, restaurants, and hotels, you’ll never run out of things to do in Catalina. Furthermore, there are many tours available here including everything from submarine rides, paragliding, inland wildlife tours, scuba diving, and much more. Some of the more recently popular tours include their unique UFO tours and ghost-hunting tours. A must to experience is renting a bicycle to explore Avalon and nearby areas. 

For a more signature Channel Islands experience, go on a boat- or car tour to the other community on the island, Two Harbors! Santa Catalina has an amazing cinematic history, and many LA party bus and Los Angeles limousine clients love to visit the island for this reason. 

Many tourists traveling by LAX transfers to San Pedro have told us about the great movies made on the island. It dubs for example for a Pacific island in the film Isle of Destiny (1940), while it is featured as itself in the 1994 comedy Sherlock: Undercover Dog. It is featured as Chicago in Elmer, the Great (1933), while it’s where Jack Nicholson visits John Huston in Chinatown (1974). Avalon can be seen in movies such as Like Crazy (2011) and Policewomen (1974). The casino has been featured in a number of classic films, such as Murder on a Honeymoon (1935), You’re Only Young Once (1937), and many others. “The Island of Romance” is absolutely best accompanied by an LA party bus or limousine service.

Besides limo vehicles, we also offer a huge variety of other specialty vehicles, such as LA party bus variants, sedans, SUVs, bus vehicles, Hummer limousines, regular stretch limo services, and so on and so forth.

The Best of Malibu


Gorgeous sunsets, beautiful beaches, the best surf, and over 300 days of sun per year. Surf City U.S.A. — Malibu — is a beloved destination for limo services throughout Southern California. Tourists from throughout the world head here on their Californication with LAX sedan service to experience the best of California beaches and a relaxed coast atmosphere, just a few miles from the hassle and stress of Downtown. 

But it’s far from just the beaches that make Malibu such a popular destination. Bordering the Santa Monica Mountains, the canyons and mountains (located a few miles inland from the city) offer some of SoCal’s best wine country. While many heads on wine tours to Malibu Family Wines, nestled in its own canyon surrounded by beautiful nature, others prefer tastings along the Pacific. After all, what could be better than enjoying a drink while taking in the breeze and beauty of the Pacific Ocean?

Situated just across the PCH, the Rosenthal Tasting Room offers tastings with magnificent ocean views, often accompanied by live music and local food trucks. Malibu Family Wines in the Malibu Canyons are open for picnicking, and food trucks are also often present here, along with their own safari tours and live entertainment, and outdoor movie screenings.

Besides regular Malibu limousine rides, we also offer wedding transportation, wine tours, LA to Vegas party bus rides, LAX transfers, and more.

Bars and Restaurants



Besides Malibu wine tours, there are lots of more things to do in Surf City USA! Some of Los Angeles County’s most popular beach bars and restaurants are located here, particularly those located on the beach are popular destinations for Malibu limousine clientele. Enjoy a meal at the Sunset Restaurant, located on Zuma Beach, for the beach-bungalow-dinner experience. 

Other restaurants located on the beach itself include for example Paradise Cove Beach Café, where you can literally sit in the sand or go for a swim in between your tropical cocktails, as well as another tremendously popular restaurant, Dukes Malibu. 

We recently had an LA to Vegas party bus customer who said Moonshadows by far is the best Malibu destination by limo. Some of the best views can be enjoyed from Moonshadows, where you can enjoy a meal on a balcony over the ocean. And why go on wine tours when you can try one of Carbon Beach Club’s more than 100 wine varietals! While in the area, don’t forget to visit the famous Pier! 

Once a symbol of the American Riviera, surfers from throughout the world head to the adjacent Surfrider Beach for what could be California’s best surf. Among our clientele, however, most head to Surfrider’s Beach for a stroll along the beach walk or to visit one of Pier’s two restaurants. The food and coastal views at the Farm Pier Cafe are unmatched! There are boats leaving the pier daily for fishing, whale-watching, and more.

Beaches


While Surfrider’s Beach might be amongst the most popular beaches, people order limo services for numerous Malibu beaches. As the terrain is so rugged with the Santa Monica Mountains some places literally drop into the ocean, and the so often steep, rugged, and rocky seaside makes for some amazingly stunning beaches. 

With nearly 30 miles of coastline, Malibu stretches for 27 miles from Topanga County Beach in the very south to Leo Carrillo State Beach in the north. Along with Surfrider’s Beach, Topanga County Beach is also a popular beach for surfers where the Topanga Creek outlet being a particularly popular surfing spot. 

Better for swimming is the Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beaches. Maybe not the most popular destination for limos for rent, but these three beaches offer arguably the LA region’s best beaches for swimming, and picnicking, and are a great place to bring the kids along.

Amongst the area’s most secluded stretches of coastline, La Piedra State Beach offers scenic views, breathtaking cliffs, and a truly secluded location. Being the most western of the Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beaches, the El Pescador State Beach offers the shortest hike from the parking lot to the beach. This sandy cove is also home to the hidden El Sol Beach, a hidden Southern California treasure. 

The last of the Robert Meyer Memorial State Beaches, El Matador State Beach, might offer the most scenic landscape and picturesque views. Our LAX sedan service even recently transferred international tourists directly to this beach from the airport! Known for its scenic rock formations and arch, sea caves, and secluded character, El Matador State Beach is a must-visit for beachgoers. You don't have to come flying into LAX to order transportation to the beach, our local limos for rent can get the job done! If you are flying into LAX, however, remember to check out our price-match-guaranteed LAX sedan service.

Attractions


Tourist attractions here are however not just limited to the great beaches; people order limo services for a wide arrange of activities in Malibu. Placed on one of the world’s most beautiful coastal properties, the Getty Villa might be the most visited Malibu limousine destination. Located on a hilltop in Pacific Palisades, its location in itself is worth the visit to the Getty Villa. 

Being one of the two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Villa offers over 44,000 objects on display, varying from statues, sculptures, and paintings to historic artifacts. Reopened in 2006 with gorgeous landscaping and beautiful surrounding gardens, the Getty Villa is free of charge and one of the most popular destinations for our LAX sedan service and LA limo services. 

With some amazing views of Surfrider Beach and lush green gardens, the Adamson House is another attraction for tourists and locals alike. Already established in the late 1920s, the Adamson House is now registered as both a California Historical Landmark and appears on the National Register of Historic Places. The idyllic home and gardens sit on a top overlooking the Malibu Pier, Lagoon, and Pacific Ocean. The Adamson House is located in the Malibu Lagoon State Park along with the local Lagoon Museum. This is the limo destination for those interested in local history, the museum offers various tours and insight into city history. Did you know that Malibu once was a ranch, bought for ten cents per acre in the late 1850s? Hard to believe for a city that is now home to some of America’s most expensive real estate! Explore Malibu's history with limos for rent!



Movie Locations

Most local Malibu limousine riders know that Malibu is a hugely popular filming location. But did you know you can go on a cinematic tour of Malibu by limo services? 

Did you for example know that Leo Carrillo State Beach appears in movies such as Inception (2010) and The Karate Kid (1984)? This beach is also a popular destination for those ordering limousine services for beaching and swimming. But this beach might be even more famous for appearing in the beginning beach scenes in Grease (1978). 

The house in Two and a Half Men (2003-2015) is located on Malibu Colony Road, while Jackie’s bonfire party in The Big Lebowski (1998) takes place at Point Dume. Elaine has a flashback to Westward Beach in the film Airplane! (1980), while a Ferrari race scene takes place on the PCH in The Fast and the Furious (2001). 

Dyson’s home in Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) is also situated in Malibu. Some of the motion pictures feating the Malibu Pier include Taken 2 (2012) and various episodes of Columbo (1971-2003) and The Rockford Files (1974-1980). Many combine Malibu wine tours with a tour of their favorite filming locations. In the Malibu Canyons, Malibu limousine riders often visit Malibu Family Wines and Cornell Winery & Tasting Room. Both of these have been featured in a variety of movies. Contact our limo services today for a tour of your favorite filming locations! For even more exciting movie tours, ask us about our LA to Vegas party bus tours.

Accommodation


Staying overnight? We know the local hotels better than anyone! Maybe not surprisingly, the best-rated is also our number-one recommendation and the most popular hotel for Malibu limo renters. 

We have weekly limos for rent heading to the magnificent Malibu Beach Inn. Situated on Carbon Beach, this 4-star hotel is as close to the ocean as you can get. Furthermore, the hotel is home to the Carbon Beach Club Restaurant where you can enjoy a drink or dinner on a balcony over the sea. In other words, it doesn’t get more romantic than this. This hotel might be the most popular for dating couples ordering a romantic Malibu limousine adventure. The 47 rooms here have modern designs and the hotel is within a short walking distance of the pier, the Malibu Country Mart, and numerous restaurants, including the Malibu Farm Pier Café located in the midst of the ocean. The hotel however might be overpriced considering that there is no swimming pool nor spa or jacuzzi, and no gym at the hotel. 

More affordable options include the 3-star Malibu Country Inn and the M Malibu. The Country Inn is a 1950s motel with its own heated swimming pool and the Collection Restaurant and Bar is located right next door to the motel and offers stunning ocean views. The gorgeous garden setting and charming character make it an intimate retreat. All rooms have sun patios with stunning ocean views, while the suites also have their own fireplace. This 16-room motel might be smaller than most, but shouldn’t be overlooked. 

Lastly, the M motel is a little larger, 18 rooms to be exact. The M is within walking distance of various local restaurants and shops. All rooms come with patios, but make sure to ask for a room in the 2nd or 3rd floor for ocean views! Hotels are popular destinations for clients reserving limos for rent!

Once overlooked for the Temecula-, Sonoma- and Napa Valleys, SoCal is experiencing a wine renaissance of its own in recent years. Did you for example know that more than fifty wineries are now situated in the Malibu region? With their close proximity to LA, these are even popular LAX sedan destinations for tourists! Furthermore, there are now two American Viticultural Areas or AVAs (officially designated wine-growing regions) within the Malibu city limits. Whether you are venturing out on wine tours to experience the emerging vineyards of the region or whether you are looking for an LA to Vegas party bus, LAX sedan, or any need for transportation in Southern California, our limo services can assist you!
