Catalina Island is a small, completely deserted island, perfect for all kinds of water sports such as snorkelling and diving, and for admiring its beautiful coral reefs and marine species in completely transparent water.
Although its main attraction is its beaches, Catalina Island is also a refuge for biodiversity inhabited by many birds and small mammals. From June to October, hawksbill sea turtles come to nest at these beaches.
