Catalina Island Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Santa Catalina Island, more commonly referred to as Catalina Island, is a rocky island off the coast of southern California, 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles. Quaint and cozy, this friendly small town community is a delight to explore.

A small pedestrian island, walking and biking are the only modes of personal transport available, so this is a great destination for energetic visitors. Locals get around in golf carts, and taxis are available, so  Catalina is equally appealing for and accessible to less active tourists.

There is a wide variety of things to do on Catalina Island. Rent bikes and explore the island—it's safe  to do this for a family vacation because of the limited vehicle traffic. The plentiful marine life makes this  popular destination for scuba diving, or simply take a tour in a glass bottomed boat to explore the sea life without getting wet!
