Barefoot luxury and private oceanfront lawns tucked along a secluded cove just past Catalina's historic landmark casino.
Nestled along the scenic coastline of Santa Catalina Island, this private beach club offers a sophisticated seaside retreat just beyond Avalon harbor. Couples exchange vows directly on the sandy shoreline or across manicured oceanfront lawns with panoramic views across the Pacific Ocean. Guests arrive via ferry from Southern California and can transition seamlessly into open-air dining under private cabanas. The evening winds down with drinks by the water as coastal breezes sweep over the cove.
