Catalina Island Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Ludmilla Alexander
  • Join Southern Californians for a quick getaway; the Catalina Express runs high-speed cruisers daily from Long Beach, San Pedro, Newport Beach, and Dana Point.
  • Warm up in August and September when temps reach their highs.
  • Check out Lover's Cove, a protected marine preserve with no fishing or scuba diving allowed. It's a short walk east of Avalon.
