Avalon

The Town of Avalon: Tucked away on Santa Catalina Island, approximately 22 miles off the Southern California coast, is a charming little town. To get to Avalon, take a ferry from one of three Southern California locations: San Pedro, Long Beach, or Dana Point. The fast ferry will take you there in about an hour. If you're feeling daring, you can also travel by helicopter, which will take you there in 15 minutes. The Town of Avalon, primarily a resort community, feels like a magical snow globe of wonder from the moment you step foot on the island—minus the snow, of course.

One of the first things you'll notice about Avalon is the absence of automobiles. With the exception of golf carts, bikes, and a trolley, it is primarily a walking community due to vehicle restrictions. This adds to its allure. The pristine beauty of Avalon Bay surrounds the city of Avalon. The magnificent bay in the distance can be seen from every angle, with the city's reflection reflecting back at you. The colorful houses dotting the hillside add to the charm of this charming city. There will never be a dull moment during your stay in Avalon. You can begin your day by exploring the town's numerous walking paths. Explore the town's main street, which is lined with local shops and restaurants. A charming stretch of beach along the main street is always a fun way to spend some time.
