Things to do on Catalina Island in the spring

Our favorite things to do on Catalina Island in the spring can be summed up in four words.

Get out of town.

Thanks to generous – and long-overdue – rainfall, Catalina Island has erupted in spring time beauty. We’ve got green hillsides that rival Ireland and a dappling of spectacular wildflowers – but there’s also burbling creeks, cascading waterfalls and overflowing watering holes. With a drought-busting 22 inches of rain so far, Catalina hasn’t seen a spring like this in years.

Trust us, if you’ve gotten used to brown and gold hillsides, this spring has brought a whole new Catalina Island — one that’s just waiting to be explored. Here are just a few of our favorite ways to get out of town.
