Beautiful offshore island near Los Angeles

🏝️ Santa Catalina is a charming island around 22 miles off the coast of Los Angeles. It's known for its wildlife, dive sites and Mt. Orizaba, its highest peak. The resort town of Two Harbors lies to the north. To the south, in the city of Avalon, palm trees and cabanas line Descanso Beach. Getting to Catalina Island is fast and easy. It takes only one hour via a high-speed ferry to get you to paradise. You can take the ferry from Long Beach or Newport Beach. I love the calming and relaxing vibe here. Sometimes if feels like you are on some Mediterranean island. Planning a day trip is possible but I will recommend an overnight stay to experience more. #meetlosangeles

Southern California, with a Mediterranean climate, is mild and rainy in winter. The maximum temperature is often above 20 degrees. This year is no exception. The two harbours of Catalina Island are probably the most beautiful in California, with each tent facing the sea and stretching all the way to the beach on a green hillside. In the early spring, wild flowers bloom and water activities are already colorful. This is a paradise without winter.

The place where 나혼자산다 members and Daniel Henney went! Day trip to Catalina Island, USA 🏝️.

#TravelPlan #USATravel #CatalinaIsland Catalina Island, also known as the Hawaii of California! This place has been featured on "I Live Alone" before, where Daniel Henney took Park Na-rae and Jeon Hyun-moo to this famous tourist spot in the USA~ It's a popular tourist destination for Americans ❤️ If you have time in your travel schedule, it's recommended to stay for a night, but you can also visit for a day trip! 😎 🚢First, you need to take a boat to get there. You can check the schedule and fare on the Catalina Express website. There are two ports, Long Beach and Dana Point, where you can depart from. Each port has different arrival points, routes, and fares, so make sure to check the schedule and make a reservation that fits your itinerary! If you're going for a day trip, you need to book the departure and return trips together in advance. Make sure to book the morning departure and the return trip around 4-5 pm! 🚘Also, there are no cars on Catalina Island! It's an environmentally friendly island where even the residents ride golf carts to get around. To go around the island, you need to rent a golf cart. There are 4-seater and 6-seater carts, and you need to apply for an international driver's license in Korea and present it. You can rent it in 2-hour increments. It may take 2 hours or a little more to go around the island, so rent it with plenty of time. 📌Tourist Points 1️⃣Before renting a golf cart, we recommend taking a walk around the port and nearby villages! The port and ocean view that you can see as soon as you get off at Catalina Island are really beautiful. There are many things to see, such as cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, so have lunch and enjoy a walk~ 2️⃣After that, rent a golf cart and go up to the summit. You can go around Catalina Island while riding a golf cart and enjoying the beautiful ocean view. There is a designated route for golf carts, and you can listen to the explanation with a map when you rent it. When you go up to the summit, you can see a different charm of the island from the view at the port! And driving a golf cart itself is a fun activity 😙 3️⃣As seen on "I Live Alone," you can also ride a zip line! There are designated times to ride the zip line, and it's a pretty long route~ Unfortunately, I couldn't ride it because my travel companion got seasick, but I want to try it again on my next trip~ 🍯Travel Tip | There are reservation sites for both golf carts and zip lines. You can rent a golf cart directly at the port, but for the zip line, the time and number of people are fixed, so we recommend making a reservation in advance. Also, if you're prone to seasickness, make sure to take motion sickness medicine before getting on the boat. Eating is more effective than sticking a patch.

It's no exaggeration to say that Catalina Island is like a paradise on earth, quietly guarding the tranquility of the sea~ Santa Catalina Island - the small island where Marilyn Monroe lived before her death. Suggestion to come during the week, because there are really too many people on weekends, and boat tickets need to be booked one month in advance. Booking website: Catalina Express Water activities are all booked in advance directly on the website. Prepare cash tips in advance after playing parasailing. Renting a golf cart also requires a $60 cash deposit. Renting a golf cart to tour the island is really fun! Strongly recommend experiencing it. The scenery on the island is mainly the blue sky and the sea. So clothing colors can be chosen to be brighter, such as yellow, white, and so on, which look great on camera! UV rays are very strong! Take precautions and apply sunscreen. Be sure to remember to wear sunglasses.
