Santa Catalina Island is a part of the Channel Islands archipelago and is just 29 miles off the coast of Long Beach, California. The island has a rich history, at times being a location for smuggling, gold digging, and even otter hunting. In the 1920s, William Wrigley developed the island into a tourism destination, and that tradition of tourism continues to this day. Currently, while a few thousand people do live on the island, most of the commerce that occurs there has to do with tourism…

Catalina Island is a picture perfect paradise and a world apart from the hustle and bustle of the mainland just 22 miles away. The air is refreshing, the water is clear, the adventures are abundant, the food is delicious, the community is casual and friendly, and there’s not one traffic light on the whole Island.

Everybody knows southern California has beautiful beaches. While it’s easy to think of Cali as all surfers and sunshine, there’s so much more to it than that. Catalina Island is one of the state’s most underrated gems.
