Air & Water Climates are Perfect for Catalina Island Snorkeling<\/span><\/h2>\n

The climate on Catalina Island is moderate all year round with winter temperatures averaging around 63 degrees F and the summer ranging in the 70s. Summer is the most ideal season to snorkel off the coast of Catalina, however, wetsuits allow snorkelers to feel comfortable throughout the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Explore Aquatic Life While Snorkeling the Catalina Island Coast<\/span><\/h2>\n

As we mentioned, there\u2019s plenty to see when diving through the waters along the coast of Catalina Island. From surf perch to rockfish, kelp bass to the bright orange garibaldi, you never know what you\u2019ll spot while snorkeling at Catalina. If you\u2019re lucky, you might even come across seals, sea lions, dolphins or whales!<\/span><\/p>\n

Popular Catalina Island Snorkeling Spots<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lover\u2019s Cove:<\/b> This is one of the most popular locations for snorkeling as it provides a secluded diving experience. Marine life in the area includes rockfish, kelp bass, garibaldi, and sometimes octopus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Emerald Bay\/Indian Rock: <\/b>Emerald Bay gets its name from the crystal clear green color of the water. A popular west end diving location Indian Rock is located right in the middle of Emerald Bay. Just a short kayak or standup paddleboard from next door Howlands Landing and CIC, it is a location that our campers frequent on adventures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avalon Dive Park: <\/b>At Avalon Dive Park (also known as Casino Point), stairs make their way down into the water, an underwater garden boasts vibrant sea life and shipwrecks at Avalon Dive Park (also known as Casino Point).

Catalina Harbor<\/b>: Locals refer to this area as \u201cCat Harbor\u201d and although there are no rentals in the area, there\u2019s a public dock and plenty of sea life to be explored.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
