Fun Facts

Descanso Beach Club offers a unique experience by allowing visitors to enjoy alcoholic beverages on the beach, a rare privilege in California.

The club is committed to sustainability, using biodegradable products and supporting local conservation efforts.

The club is located within the Catalina Island Conservancy, which protects 88% of the island's natural environment.

The area was once a private beach for the Wrigley family, known for their chewing gum empire, before becoming a public attraction.

Visitors can enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, and even zip-lining through the nearby Descanso Canyon.

This creamy cocktail, named after the island's bison population, is a local favorite and a must-try for visitors.

The club frequently features local bands and musicians, providing a lively atmosphere for beachgoers.

The surrounding area is home to native plant species, including the rare Catalina Ironwood tree.
