Discover Avalon: Scenic Drive
Ride through the colorful hills, beaches, and backstreets of Avalon on a guided tour packed with Catalina Island charm and stories.
Located about 22 miles south and west of Los Angeles, Catalina has two cities, and the city of Avalon — perched on its east coast — is your destination for the day. Hop into an open-air vehicle and explore seven scenic miles of coastal paradise. Your guide will share history, folklore, and fun facts as you enjoy the mild subtropical climate and views from the hills to the harbor.
