Which Catalina Island? There is one in the Dominican Republic (just off the southern coast off the main island) and there is one just off the coast of Los Angeles in California.

There is one in the Dominican Republic (just off the southern coast off the main island) <<<<

and there is one just off the coast of Los Angeles in California.

I think he's on to something and it's the former!

 

I just fired up Google Earth and took a look.

There it is, off the Soth coast of the big island of Hispaniola.

Easy to find!

 

On the Western edge of Catalina Isl. is a gorgeous bay

and the very first Panoramio pic I clicked on showed a Princess ship in the scene.

The third picture I clicked on showed a Costa vessel, so clearly this is a cruise ship destination!

 

Go take a look - it's a pretty place...all touristy with turquoise waters!

If it's the one in the Dominican Republic, then here are some pictures I took from my brief visit there:

It is a national park and it is very small. There is a beautiful beach and some lounge chairs set up. The best snorkeling and scuba diving in the DR are just a couple minutes boat ride off shore.
