Discover the historic seaside destination that has been coveted by film stars, artists, authors and government dignitaries including presidents for over a century - the charming city of Avalon on the beautiful island of Catalina. Its charm and allure to this day is derived from not only its natural beauty and iconic location, but also that its extraordinary appeal of the jet-set lifestyle it attracts although its only 26-miles away from mainland California. Whisk away to its paradise via high-speed ferry (45-min journey) or by helicopter (15-minutes), and leave all the hustle and bustle behind for a slower pace of island life. Journey with the reliable Catalina Express that offers daily departures from San Pedro, Long Beach or Dana Point; or consider the Catalina Flyer which offers daily departures from Newport Beach (this is the largest passenger catamaran service on the West Coast); and for those desiring the faster-track to the island life via helicopter, consider IEX Helicopters that service Long Beach, San Pedro and Orange County. Explore the island's primary town of Avalon, dotted with numerous wonderful restaurants, delightful beaches, charming boutique shops, fantastic golf courses and beautiful residences; or escape to the other side of the island and wander around the rustic Two Harbors village, an outdoor lovers' dream filled with a variety of land and ocean activity opportunities such as hiking trails, mountain biking, kayaking, ziplining, parasailing, fishing, snorkeling and world-class scuba diving. Two Harbors has a rich colorful history encompassing American Indians who were its first inhabitants, to Spanish explorers, fur traders, pirates and soldiers of the Union Army; in more modern-day times, many Hollywood movies were filmed on-location in this "other wilder side of Catalina", where wild bison now roam plentiful because they were brought here for the filming of "The Vanishing American western based on the novel of the same name by Zane Grey.
