Santa Catalina Island and Morgan’s Head
One of the most famous tourist attractions on Santa Catalina is Morgan’s Head, a rock formation known for ita resemblance to the famous pirate, Henry Morgan. Santa Catalina also known as the “Island of Treasure” due to the legendary hidden treasure which is said to have been placed somewhere on the island by Henry Morgan on one of his last journeys. A short walk away is Santa Isabel, crossing Lovers Bridge, then traveling down a scenic pathway which overlooks the bay. This leads to the ruins which remain from the fortification that was built long ago by the legendary pirates. This area also offers one of the many small beaches from which you can access great snorkeling and shore diving.
