About Avalon
Avalon is the only city on Santa Catalina Island, about 22 miles off the coast of Southern California. Its small, hillside town curves around Avalon Bay, with the car-free Crescent Avenue promenade, the Green Pleasure Pier and the circular Art Deco Catalina Casino of 1929 at the end of the bay.
Visitors kayak, paddleboard and fish in the harbour and bays, or rent golf carts and bikes to tour the hills above town. Catalina is a regular call for major cruise lines, whose ships tender passengers into town.
