Catalina Island, CA

On May 5th, (Cinco de Mayo, 2018),  we decided to venture out to Catalina Island on the side of Avalon. We took the Catalina Express from Long Beach and it was quite a nice and quick boat ride. We suggest lining up early for the ride across the channel. Otherwise, you might end up in a middle seat or no seat at all. After disembarkation, we swiftly proceeded to the golf cart rental booth to rent our ride for the day. Exploring Avalon can be accomplished in a day and surely, we did just that. ​

​We enjoyed the different scenery along the shoreline as well as on top of the hill along the paved road where golf carts are allowed to roam for exploration. These golf carts are allowed almost anywhere on the island. This will allow you to visit almost ALL highlights of Avalon (Wrigley Botanical Gardens, Casino, etc...). You will see some of the spectacular views in the slideshow below . Please feel free to provide any comments, suggestions or even any of your great recommendations about Catalina Island.
