Do the resorts on Catalina charge?

Looking to spend the day at one of the beach resorts. Do they charge to use their pool and beach or is there a way to book a cabana?

Thanks!

To my knowledge, there is only one "Beach Resort" on Catalina, but it doesn't have a pool.

The hotels & resorts that would have a spa or pool aren't on the beach, and I don't believe they would let you just use the pool unless you paid for maybe a "spa day".

You need to do a little more research on Catalina Island.

It sounds like you expect Catalina to be something like a Caribbean or Hawaiian Island - and it just isn't. There isn't much of a beach, have never seen a cabana on the island, and it's mostly just a very small village surrounded by mostly unpopulated hills/mountains. Rent a golf cart and just explore for a few hours, have a nice lunch, or take one of the inland tours up through the mountains.

The zip line at Descanso beach is fun. That is also where there are lounge chairs and cabanas and a cute beachside bar to hang out at.

That is the ONE resort I referred to, but it isn't free.
