Latest reviews on Cataline island's beaches

Harbor Sands
10 Lora F.

We had a great time lounging in the chairs, ordering food and drinks. The drinks were a bit weak, but the food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly!

Hamilton Beach
2 Bexley Eliza

This beach is unfortunately not accessible to the public, so it may not be worth attempting to visit. It is unclear whether this restriction is legally permissible, but there are certainly many other superior beach options available.

Middle Beach
10 Zephyrwave

This beach is a great place to visit, with some areas that are not too rocky.

Descanso Beach
10 Camilla Anderson

We arrived on the 7 am boat and found that most places wouldn't open until 9. So, we decided to walk from Port to descanso Beach club and set up our towels and chairs. Afterward, we headed to the main part of town for breakfast and rented bikes for the day. We explored the entire island and when we returned to our spot, our towels were still there, surrounded by other people's setups. A waitress came by to serve us drinks and food. The only downside was when we were leaving to catch the 4 pm boat, we discovered that someone had stolen my rented electric bike. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one who had their bike taken. Surprisingly, they didn't bother with my husband's mountain bike, only the electric ones were targeted.

Parsons Landing beach
10 Avery Johnson.

This is the top-rated campsite along the catalina trail, but it's important to note that there is no drinkable water available. You'll need to buy a key in two harbors to access water and firewood. The sand is a bit rough and the water has some sharp rocks on the bottom. It can also get windy at night, but the waves are generally calm. However, it's worth mentioning that the bathrooms have a strong odor.

Cabrillo Harbor beach
10 Avery Kline

The campground situated on Catalina Island is an exceptional spot to spend your vacation, especially if you're a fan of spearfishing. The crystal-clear water is a sight to behold and provides an excellent opportunity to explore the underwater world. The campground's overall ambiance is fantastic and will undoubtedly leave you feeling rejuvenated.
