15 reviews of Catalina Island

beautiful, unspoiled beaches of fine white sand, palm trees and mangroves

Catalina Island has been named as a natural monument, and it is one of the islands belonging to the Eastern National Park , situated in the southeast of the country. It is a small island of only about 9 km2. It is uninhabited and, for the moment, has not been explored much by tourists. A Channel 2 km wide separates it from the mainland. Its main attraction is the diving (both surface type snorkel , and deep sea diving), and underneath its warm turquoise waters you can see galleons and thousands of colorfully minnows.

Of course, they are also beautiful, unspoiled beaches of fine white sand, palm trees and mangroves (we landed on the West Beach ). During certain times of the year you can see dolphins and humpback whales. Excursions to Catalina Island leave from the pier Bayahíbe or the marina of La Romana. You can go by catamaran or in small boats with a transparent bottom, made of glass.

An explosion of beauty and colour

I was pleasantly surprised by the small, 9 kilometre island of Catalina, with an amazing turquoise sea and incredibly fine white sand. We arrived by boat in about a half an hour, through the 7.5 channel from the La Romana port. We bought the tickets on the boardwalk in La Romana. The island itself isn't very impressive, but it's surrounded by coral reefs, coral skeletons and live corals. You can't stay on the island because there's no lodging. We arrived and prepared to dive, walked on the beach with shoes because the beach is full of rocks and sharp corals, and coral cuts like you won't believe and you won't know it until afterwards.

From the beach, there's a slope leading up to the "wall" that drops more than 100 meters deep. The water was awesome, the whole slope of the beach to the wall was full of colourful fish, sponges, ball-like brain coral, and only in about 4 feet of water. It was an explosion of beauty and colour!
