Catalina Island is truly Southern California’s hidden treasure.

What I love about Catalina Island, is that you can visit year after year and never have the same trip twice. Why? There’s just so much to do and see in Avalon and Two Harbors, under the water, inland, and around the island in the less visited areas like any of the many secluded coves, bays, campsites and hiking trails.
