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.

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.
