Welcome to Santa Catalina Island!

Take a breath of fresh air and experience the tangible beauty of Santa Catalina Island! With a ban of motorized vehicles in place, enjoying the outdoors never felt so good. This rocky island just off the coast of California is located 22 miles (35 km) Southwest of the main land, San Pedro and is the home to less than 4,000 people. Tourists arrive on the island from every form of transportation; ferries departing from Long Beach, San Pedro, Marina Del Rey will have guests from one dock to another in less than an hour while other, more leisurely, methods can take days. The Catalina Explorer cruise ship and the Island Express Helicopter are both very popular ways of touring Catalina. Keeping Catalina fresh and interesting are exciting annual events, like the the Jazztrax Showcase of the Absolute Newest and the killer waves found on the backside of Catalina in Shark Harbor and Ben Weston Beach. While eager voyagers scuba the ocean deep or snorkel near the shallows, Glass bottom Boats are touring the reefs and shipwrecks. This naturally beautiful experience will have travelers feeling fully restored and more in tune with nature than ever before.
