Catalina Island or Isla Catalina is a tropical island in the Caribbean Sea located 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) from the mainland on the south-east corner of the Dominican Republic, near the provinces of La Altagracia and La Romana. It is an occasional destination for cruise ships on Caribbean routes. In particular, Costa Cruises has a private beach on the island. Their ships anchor offshore and transport passengers to shore via tender.
