Santa Rosa is located about off the coast of Santa Barbara, California in Santa Barbara County. It is occupied by rolling hills, deep canyons, a coastal lagoon and beaches adorned with sand dunes and driftwood. The Chumash, a Native American people who lived in the Channel Islands at the time of European contact, called the driftwood ''wima'' because channel currents brought ashore logs from which they built ''tomols'' (plank canoes). There are a variety of recreational activities to take part in on Santa Rosa Island, including kayaking, camping and hiking. A private boat charter company offers a number of trips to the island year round, and camping reservations can be made through Channel Islands National Park offices in Ventura, CA. A year-round charter flight service is available from Camarillo Airport for hikers and campers to Santa Rosa Island. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santa Rosa Island, California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
