Recommended Posts

Hi fellow cruisers! I am hoping someone can give me some advice. Will be on a 4day cruise the end of May, stopping in Ensenada and Catalina Island. Have done the touristy things here and would really like a relaxing beach day. Looking at either Estero Beach in Ensenada or Descano in Catalina. I will be solo, so safety is a bit of a consideration. Does anyone of any information on these two spots, or a preference? Thank you in advance :)

Realize that end of May is "fog season" in these parts. You may not have real warm beach weather in either location. You might have better luck at Descanso as it may get some cloud blocking from western side of the island. I am not sure if the geography is enough to make a difference.

 

Search online for the phenomena known as, "June Gloom" to learn more.

Good catch. May Gray becomes June Gloom. Cold mornings turning into hot days.

Thank you for this advice!!! Now I think I will play it by ear and see what the weather looks like, then do the beach on my own if it looks good :)

Catalina is a tender port. They drop you at the pier in the center of town. When you walk off the pier you are AT the beach....left or right. Descanso is a 10 minute walk to the right as you leave the pier.....just past the Casino ( not gambling kind ) .

Catalina is fantastic !!!!!
