Think: winding hillside streets lined with wild purple hyacinths and vintage tiles, secret coves where you can dive into crystal-clear waters, and sun-warmed cliffs that tumble into the sea. Santa Catalina Island feels like it's located off the Amalfi Coast - but it's actually a destination reachable by ferry from Long Beach, California.
