Sausalito itself, but a ferry trip from San Francisco, is a place full of 

 attractions for the pleasure-seeker. Here is a yacht club and several 

 boathouses with excellent facilities for enjoying the water, while the em- 

 bowered and steeply terraced little town, a veritable hanging garden of a 

 place, is itself an attraction which would be world-famed if it lay along the 

 tourist paths of Europe. 



Belvedere, another suburb reached by ferry, has the same peculiar 

 charm of terraced steeps and dryad-inviting dingles. Its zigzag shady 

 paths look sheer down through live-oak leafage to the cove below, with its 

 house-boats, yachts and bathing-houses. Across the Inlet lies Tiburon, 

 beloved by the short-trip fisherman. And between the two a comfortable 

 hotel crowns the head of the cove. 



SANTA CATALINA, THE ANGLER'S 



PARADISE 



HARDLY two hours and a half from Los Angeles Is Santa Catalina, 

 an island twenty-two miles long, a park in the Pacific, a mountain 

 range at sea; a bit of the world by itself, which in its climate, nat- 

 ural beauties and opportunities for sport comes as near perfection 

 as one can find. It abounds in beautiful and lofty mountains, deep 

 gorges, stupendous rock-cliffs, and precipices. Its south and west coast 

 has the surf and a bracing climate; its north and east is a region of calms, 

 little bays with glass-like surfaces reflecting the rocks and mountains. 



Santa Catalina is patronized by those who wish to escape the conven- 

 tionalities of fashionable life. There are cottages, shops, hotels, and 

 boarding-houses, while a city of tents affords the lovers of camping out 

 under ideal conditions every opportunity. 



Santa Catalina is a natural sanitarium, combining all that is best in 

 the Madeira Islands and the famous Riviera, without any of the objection- 

 able features of the latter. Even in midwinter the days are mild, frost being 

 unknown in many of the valleys; the island is then a flower garden. It 

 has valuable sulphur springs, and the opportunities for salt baths and en- 

 joying the remarkable varieties of climate make it an ideal resort. In 

 winter the Hotel Metropole is visited by tourists from all over the world. 



There are daily excursions and private yachting parties to the numer- 

 ous places of interest near Avalon— Sea-Lion Rookery, three miles from 

 Avalon; Isthmus, fourteen miles; the Sphinx, four miles; San Clemente,

 the supervision of a resident physician and health officer. No locality in 

 the United States has such extensive arrangements for the convenience of 

 campers, nor can any other place show such an attractive picture of cozy 

 canvas habitations. Camp life at Santa Catalina is ideal, the climate and 

 surroundings make it so. Thousands choose this as the most economical 

 and delightful way to spend their vacation. Every effort is made to cater 

 to the comfort and pleasure of campers. Lots front on macadamized streets

 -—the Shone system. The streets are cleaned and sprinkled and all garbage 

 is removed from the premises daily.
