Catalina Island

3.4nm from the entrance to the Cumayasa River.

The island of Catalina can provide a small anchorage giving protection from the North through to the Southeast.

There is 10 feet of water close in to the beach with a sandy bottom. This is a cruise ship stop and if you like mingling with cruise ship tourists, the beach looks like Times Square, NY on New Years Eve anytime a cruise ship is in. You will not feel lonely here. However the anchorage tends to be rolly.  VERY ROLLY.  And as a result, I have never found it comfortable as anything more than a day stop.
