History of Lover's Cove -In the early 1900s, William Wrigley Jr. purchased Catalina Island and expanded tourism, introducing glass-bottom boat tours in Lover's Cove, followed later by snorkeling. The Cove became famous for its clear, calm waters, lush kelp forests, and abundant marine life, earning the nickname "Marine Gardens." Today, Lover's Cove is a Marine Protected Area, preserving its underwater ecosystem for future generations.
