Just a short drive east from Avalon, on the beautiful island of Catalina, is Lovers Cove. The cove is part of the Lovers Cove State Marine Conservation Area and can be accessed from the Catalina Express landing dock or from town. Although there isn’t much of a beach to explore at Lovers Cove, the world beneath the waters is teeming with life to be appreciated and explored. Enjoy a day out snorkeling and seeing all that life under the waters has to offer or enjoy a short kayaking or paddleboarding trip around the shoreline. For guests without their own gear, there are several stores wherein gear can be rented out.
