Wet and Wild Catalina Island Water Sports
If you manage to tear yourself away from the beaches, diving and fishing activity of Catalina Island, then get ready to be soaked again! There are plenty of water sports in the island area including snorkeling, swimming, wave running, water-skiing, paddle boarding and more.
Since Catalina Island water sports include swimming and snorkeling, make your way over to Lovers Cove, Avalon. This is the only part of the coast that allows snorkeling. On the plus side, all activity is free. You can take a scenic journey under water and watch lots of animals swim by. If you have kids or are nervous about snorkeling for the first time, then head over to Ron Moore’s Snorkeling Catalina. You can have an escort assist you and offers guided snorkel tours. These include tours day and at night, boat snorkel trips and much more.
Catalina Jet Ski & Electric Bike Rentals handles all of your WaveRunner needs. Your water sports adventure starts at the Green Pleasure Pier in beautiful Avalon Harbor. Just imagine racing your Sea Doo up to 60 miles an hour on the open water!

Just imagine seeing the panoramic views of Catalina Island as you gently lifted to your desired 600 to 800 foot high flight. Excellent surfing and boogie boarding are great Catalina Island water sports to enjoy.
Lastly, there is kayaking and paddle boarding. Visit the Wet Spot Rentals booth, family owned and operated for more than 25 years.
