Thank you for choosing to visit Catalina Island. Whether you're a first time visitor or one of our "regulars" - here for the day or an extended visit - we're delighted to share our Island paradise with you!

And those of us who reside year-round on Catalina Island think we have found paradise. Although we're located just 22 miles off the Southern California coast, it usually feels like we're a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Our air is smog-free, our bay has the clearest water of any harbor in the country, and there's not one traffic light on the whole island! From our "city" of Avalon (population 3,500) to the country village of Two Harbors (population 150), Catalina Island resembles the California of 50 years ago - undeveloped and unspoiled! Catalina Island really is another world!

Discover paradise for yourself. The information on the following pages has been assembled to enable you to plan your entire visit. From transportation and accommodations, to restaurants, sightseeing and activities, it's all here. And the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau is ready to answer your questions before, during, or after your visit.

Catalina Island.
Not just an island. Another world!
