Less than two miles from the Dominican Republic’s southern shore, Catalina Island -- named by Christopher Columbus, though the explorer never set foot on these shores -- is a beachcomber’s haven bathed in warm sun and golden sand. The shallow surf and thriving coral gardens found here are perfect for snorkelers, who will find fish as large as the hulking grouper feeding among smaller, more colorful species. Sand dunes and waterfront mangroves await exploration, too, and hikes across Catalina Island are a popular activity for day visitors.
