Goat Harbor is located in the Southern Channel Islands, on Santa Catalina Island, California, within the Long Point State Marine Reserve. This steep site consists of extremely uneven terrain, containing many deep cracks and folds.

Goat Harbor is dominated by a mixture of consolidated bedrock and boulder fields, and the area surrounding the site is comprised of boulder fields. The primary coastal orientation of this site is north/northwest.

Biodiversity Surveys were done by University of California Santa Cruz in 2010, 2013, 2018, and 2020. The Biodiversity Survey grid encompasses one section that is approximately 20 meters (along shore) x 10 meters (seaward). Click here to view Biodiversity Survey findings at this site.
