A Unique Island Experience

August 30,2024

What do you do on an island, that you couldn’t really do at home? A mermaid photo shoot, of course!

While researching the fun activities you can do on Catalina Island when I was contracted at the Avalon Hotel, I discovered that a local business woman did mermaid photo shoots on the beach. Umm, yes please! This was definitely something to check out. Who wouldn’t want to be a mermaid for a couple of hours.

Come to find out, another front desk agent knew the business owner, and made arrangements for a group of us to have a mermaid photo shoot together. With mimosas in hand, we stumbled and flopped trying to get into our tails and function on land. Laughing and falling onto each other, we did some group photos then individual shots. Trying to be supernaturally sexy while having the lower body completely bound is a skill I’m sorry to say that I don’t really have. However, I had a great time, a story to share, and photographical evidence mermaids do exist on Catalina Island.
