What makes Catalina such a fun escape from Southern California is how accessible it is to get to, while feeling miles and miles away. I was invited out by the Catalina Island Company last September to experience both the Avalon and Two Harbors sides of the islands (the first time I visited years ago I only camped on Two Harbors), and in this post I wanted to share what to do in Catalina Island, especially if it’s your first time!
Sure, everyone knows about the island that’s just one hour by ferry from the mainland, but has everyone actually made the effort to go? The answer is probably fewer than you’d assume. Sometimes it’s harder to appreciate the beauty that lives right in our own backyards, and for many Angelenos I feel like Catalina is one of those places.
