# Gaviota

**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** 34.4667, -120.2000

Charts still mark Gaviota as a port, but freight forwarders will find little to work with here. The offshore oil-loading facility once known as Alcatraz Landing, which handled crude from Santa Barbara Channel production, was fully dismantled and the site reclaimed between 2018 and 2020. No container, breakbulk or routine customs services operate at this open roadstead today. For commercial cargo in the region, Port Hueneme is the nearest deep-water option, while Los Angeles and Long Beach handle containerised volumes.
