About the Descanso Beach Club

An introduction and general information about Descanso Beach Club on Catalina Island in Southern California.

NAME: Descanso Beach Club
ATTRACTION TYPE: Recreational Resort
OPERATED BY: Catalina Island Company
Vicinity: Descanso Canyon and Descanso Beach
LOCATION: City of Avalon, Catalina Island, Southern California

The east-facing beach on Descanso Bay is calm in the morning, but by midday it’s the most happening spot on the island. Descanso Beach Club has the rights to this beach, but all are welcome, and it has become the place to kick back and catch some rays. Once you find a spot, drinks and food served from the Descanso Beach Club restaurant and bar are delivered to your private cabana or beach chair. Come by on Saturdays in the summer and there’ll be a DJ on site. The club also offers a number of onsite activities — like the 3,700-foot long zipline tour, 32-foot climbing wall, or the new Catalina Aerial Adventure and Descanso Drop Tower, opening summer 2017. All these options are probably better to do before digging your toes in the sand and ordering a drink or two.
