If you are bringing the whole family out for a day of fun in the California sun, then the appropriately-named Mother's Beach is the most obvious choice. This recently-renovated beach park offers plenty of amenities and attractions that will please the whole family. There's a little whale at the center of the kiddie splash pad, rocks to climb, swings to swing on, and of course, lots of sand! A swimming area for adults and older kids is roped off from the area designated for toddlers and kiddies to enjoy.
If you are looking to spend some time outdoors and on the beach but would rather steer away from the crowds and all that goes with it, opt to visit Alamitos Bay Marina. This area is quite beautiful, but it is nicely positioned away from all of the tourist attractions and resorts, which makes it a kind of hidden treasure for outdoor lovers. The views are absolutely amazing and the weather is agreeable nearly every day.
Lovers of nature will enjoy the chance to see some of the most incredible wildlife on the Catalina Adventure Tours. An incredible island adventure awaits you when you take this tour that has been accommodating visitors for over 20 years. Don't forget to bring your camera, as there are countless photo opportunities on this picturesque trek. These include seeing such striking creatures as seals, buffalo, and other animal life. The tour prides itself in bringing together the best of Catalina for all to enjoy.
