Just 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles, storied Catalina Island is known for its diverse flora and fauna, prime diving and snorkeling waters, and its highest peak, Mt. Orizaba. The town of Avalon surrounds beautiful Avalon Bay on the southeast end of Santa Catalina Island. Avalon has been a popular destination for visitors since the early 1900’s. From the ‘20’s and beyond, Avalon has attracted film stars to presidents and still maintains its charm and allure today. Avalon, boasting numerous hotels, restaurants, beaches and recreational activities, is the only incorporated town on Santa Catalina Island. In just one hour via ferry ride from various points in and around Los Angeles, you can be whisked away to your new island escape. By air, Catalina is reachable by helicopter from Long Beach and San Pedro, or via private plane into Catalina Airport. 223 Beacon Street is just a 10-minute walk from both the famed Mediterranean Revival Art Deco casino to the north and the Catalina Ferry and Boat Terminal to the east. The Catalina Island Country Club is just a six-minute walk to the west, offering golf under blue skies and the Southern California sun.
