And in the night, Santa Catalina transforming itself into the center of the light, you'll be astounded by the beauty of this place at night, it's truly amazing!
The best place i think all most people want to go at night in the island is Catalina Island Casino Ballroom, you can see this place first when come to island. The tower lay on the left of the island and become more twinkle in the night because the light system of the building.
Not only Casino Ballroom but also light from others place in island make the night become more fanciful and sparkling. It's so great and hard forgot if you walking visit and shopping at here at night.
The landscape, beach, weather, location.. make this place become famous tourist destination and you can not miss. I truly want go here and try to the best to travel many place in the world.
