Day trips for just the two of you, whether it's your first date or the fortieth.
#42: Catalina Island
Home City: Los Angeles
Distance: 22 miles
Perfect for: Beachcombing couples
Even though it's just 22 miles from LA, Catalina Island feels more like Capri than California. The intimate isle boasts soft white sand beaches, colorful marine life (including dolphins, sea lions and flying fish) and every Los Angeleno's dream: no traffic (cars are banned on the island so residents and visitors get around on golf carts). The clear blue waters surrounding Catalina Island also make it an ideal destination for snorkelers and scuba divers.
