Explore Catalina Island: The Inspiration Behind macOS Catalina
Mediterranean-flavored Santa Catalina Island serves as an ideal getaway for harried Angelenos seeking fresh air, endless sunshine, and seaside fun. Having originally been the home of the Tongva Nation, Catalina’s fascinating history includes roles as a sanctuary for Spanish explorers and sea otter poachers. In 1919, chewing-gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. acquired the island, commissioning Spanish Mission-style buildings and hosting his Chicago Cubs for spring training.
