Twenty-two miles off the coast of California, Catalina Island remains a favorite getaway. This shot, overlooking the harbor, includes the the Casino, which was the tallest building in Los Angeles County in 1929. Today, it is home to the Avalon Theater on the first floor.
In 1975, Philip Wrigley deeded the island to the Catalina Island Conservancy. The island was named Santa Catalina to honor the feast day of St. Catherine of Alexandria. For a larger view, visit The Back Lot.
