Love Catalina Island

The official page of the Love Catalina Island Tourism Authority. Catalina Island is a place where the gentle rhythm of the waves makes time slow down.

It’s a place where you can paddle through crystal clear waters in the crisp morning air, followed by Mai Tais and sun soaked massages on the beach in the afternoon. Moonlit walks are the norm and a sense of timelessness surrounds you. That Catalina feeling of tranquility is better known as Island Time. Island Time allows you the time to do all the things you love to do, at your own pace. When you'

re on Island Time, you're always having the time of your life. So come to Catalina and shift your life from overtime to Island Time. Slow down, kick back and . . . Relax, You're on Island Time.
