Visitor Information

Santa Catalina Island or just Catalina Island is a rocky island about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles, CA. This Island was bought by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. in 1919. In the spring time the island was also used by the Chicago Cubs, also owned by Wrigley for their spring training. In 1975, Philip Wrigley deeded the Wrigley shares in the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy. (So much for listening to our tour guide huh?)

We went here June of 2010 for my 30th birthday celebration. Going to the island was a pain coz we need to ride a 45 minute speed boat and all of us felt so sick (sea sick). It was cloudy and chilly when we arrived. Now I know that even at summer time I should bring a jacket with me. Overall I had so much fun in the Island and was glad that I finally came to visit.
