Jewfish Point

Jewfish Point is a headland at the far southern end of Santa Catalina Island in Los Angeles County, in the U.S. state of California.

[8][7] Per the California State Water Resources Control Board, the designation that a place is an area of special biological significance (ASBS) means that it supports "an unusual variety of aquatic life, and often...unique individual species".

[10] The land route to the site is what a 1923 botanical survey described as "difficult and uncomfortable scrambling about among the rock debris along the shore".

[11] Plants observed at Jewfish Point at that time included Nicotiana glauca, laurel sumac, lemonadeberry, woolly Indian paintbrush, California black sage (then classified as Ramona stachyoides), Eriogonum giganteum, and toyon.

[11] A 1950s oceanographic survey reported sandy mud at 48 fathoms, along with many brittle stars, seed shrimp, tubicolous anemones, many shells of Laqueus californicus, and a number of other types of sea creatures.
