1. Experience Catalina Island
“If you guys are looking to get away during COVID to somewhere near and safe, Catalina Island should be on your places to visit in LA.”
Catalina Island is one of California’s Channel Islands and a must-see if you are in Southern California. The best way to travel the short 22 miles (roughly 35km) from the mainland is by chartering a private yacht. The ocean views are breathtaking and frequent sightings of dolphins, whales, and sea lions are sure to excite the whole family.
With a personal charter, you can take as much time as you need to enjoy the trip to the Island. Once you’ve reached Catalina Island, you can choose to relax, sunbathe on the yacht, go swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving in the protected marine reserve. If you prefer thrilling adventures, the zipline tour will have you soaring 600ft (182 meters) above sea level at speeds up to 40 miles (64km) per hour.
2. Experience 5 Star Resorts
After your adventure on Catalina Island, you can wind down and relax for a few days at one of the premier 5-star resorts Southern California has to offer. In addition, there are several great options to choose from. One of our personal favorites is the Monarch Beach Resort, located in Dana Point, California. This Resort offers luxurious ocean-view suites, Golf lessons with PGA Professionals, award-winning spa treatments, and unforgettable culinary experiences. Want a sneak peek?
