Howland's Landing
Howland's Landing sits on the west end of Santa Catalina Island, a quieter, more remote alternative to the busier Two Harbors area just a short distance away. You anchor off here and take in the rugged, unspoiled Channel Island scenery with hiking trails and crystal-clear water for snorkeling right at your doorstep. It's about 22 miles off the Los Angeles coast, so the crowds thin out fast and you get that rare feeling of genuine seclusion.
