About Santa Catalina Island
Santa Catalina, one of California's Channel Islands, lies southwest 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. Avalon's circular, art deco Catalina Casino is a cultural center with a movie theater, ballroom and museum.
