Catalina IslandPictures by QT Luong |
| Santa Catalina Island (commonly called Catalina) is one of the Channel Islands, 22 miles (about one hour crossing) from Los Angeles. Catalina is a world apart from the rest of Southern California, offering a quiet asylum from its the hustle and bustle. There are few cars - most residents use golf carts instead. Unlike the Northern Channel Islands, Catalina is not a national park, however most of the island is preserved by the Catalina Island Conservancy. The only large town on Catalina is Avalon (pop 4,000), a picturesque resort community developped by chewing-gum magnate William Wrigley on steep hills overlooking a bay. |
