Parson’s Landing
★★★★☆
(633)
Parson’s Landing is a beautiful secluded cove on Catalina Island that’s just as scenic above water as it is underwater with great diving and snorkeling right from the shore! You can even camp here right on the beach. The cove is usually nice and calm as it is protected from most weather.
With light streaming through the kelp you’ll see garibaldi, opaleye, calico bass, halfmoons, green abalone, leopard sharks, bat rays and halibut.
