Catalina Island

by krizt - last update: Jun 16, 2003

Marina at Catalina
When we got to the island, we rented a golf cart to get around on. We drove all over the island- so I thought. There is a lot to see. There's the village - all the restaurants and shops are all together- the botanical gardens- the Casino and Museum.... there's a lot to do and we didn't have time to do it all!
leaving the smog behind
We went to Catalina Island while we were on our honeymoon. It's a beautiful island off the coast of LA.
We were only there for about eight hours I guess. You have to take a boat ride over- I think it is about an hour ride. The boat ride alone is really beautiful- and don't forget to watch for dolphins! We saw a few playing in the waves behind the boat.

Pros:"Beautiful place to get away from LA."
Cons:"Kinda snobish community."
In A Nutshell:"You'll have a lot of fun- just stick to yourself!"
