Avalon Bay
Avalon Bay sits off Catalina Island, one of Southern California's most iconic anchorages where you drop the hook and take in the scene of a classic island town framed by rugged hills. The turquoise water and the cheerful waterfront of Avalon township give it a distinctly Mediterranean feel that's hard to find anywhere else on the West Coast. You're within a short dinghy ride of the town's restaurants, shops, and the famous Art Deco Casino building.
