klmb318 Posted March 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2018 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2018 There is Catalina info on the the Californa Coastal board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted March 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Go to the beach on Catalina. Within walking distance of the pier, the other side of the Casino. You’d need a taxi to go to Estero in Ensenada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmb318 Posted March 6, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thank you for your responses. Think I may try the beach in Catalina:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelectSys Posted March 6, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickstas Posted May 12, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2018 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 !!!!!

SelectSys Posted May 21, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2018 great news! thank you, leaving in 6 days! Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app The weather looks pretty gloomy right now. You might think about going to the Valle Guadalupe in Ensenada for a better chance at seeing the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
