When we first arrived the room smelled like a toilet. They fixed that then later that night at 3 am the toilet overflowed. It then sat on the bathroom floor/carpet for seven hours. The management was not on sight. They have a number you call with a recording they say they will return your call within 24hrs. It took them 50 plus hours to return ...

To really get the hang of Catalina you have to get away from Avalon. Too many people take the ferry over and spend the whole day right there near the ferry landing in Avalon, crowded on the little beach or snorkeling in a huge crowd by the old casino. Much better to rent a golf cart and travel around the island. Go up to the top and enjoy the ...

We enjoyed several activties while on the Island including the simi submersable boat as ...

Since I got my pilot's license and bought a Cessna 172 Catalina became my favorite place to go. Just 1/2 hour from Long Beach Airport with breath taking scenery like large schools of dolphin or whales on the way over. Once there a buffalo burger at the airport cafe is a must. Then a tram ride to either Avalon or the Isthmus to relax and have ...

Six months after Kerry & I were married, we still couldn't afford a honeymoon. After a year of saving, we decide to jump on a plane and fly to California and jump on the ferry and set sail to Catalina Island.

While a remote tropical isle may be the ultimate winter escape, you need only head to the west tip for an unspoiled, ...

Beautiful Southern California Catalina Island Sunshine with dazzling clear water. Nice sail, and a quick over on a motor yacht. Don’t be misled, this is not the gloomy, rainy northwest boating with dangerous deadhead logs, treacherous ships and bad weather tides. Catalina is, and has always been a jewel among the California Channel Islands. .
