Twenty-Six Miles Across the Sea

Memorial Day marks the start of the summer season at Catalina. As we write this from a heatwave-oppressed Bay Area we’re reminded of the island’s blue crystalline water and a night sky like diamond dust on black felt. We can’t wait to get back to Catalina and there’re as many reasons to go as there are people who go there — and that’s a lot.

Here are five things not to miss when you go: 1) A bonfire and barbecue on the beach at Two Harbors; 2) A hike to Inspiration Point — just ask a local how to find it when you get to Two Harbors; 3) See a movie in the Casino movie theater in Avalon; 4) Go snorkeling or diving anywhere around the island — it’s no coincidence that Catalina consistently ranks as a top diving destination; 5) A Saturday night barbecue with live music at the Airport in the Sky.

See you there!
