Destinations:Avalon, Catalina Island

There's a reason cruise ships selected Catalina Island as a stop on their California coast cruises.

Family oriented Avalon beach enjoys mild, non-turbulent waters in its generally tranquil bay.

Watch Kids Play

From rafting to kayaking, ziplining to scuba, Avalon is truly an aquatic island paradise for tourists.

Picture Taking

  • We've enjoyed sunny days and some cloudy ones on the island as well. Of course we prefer sunshine because there really is so much color at Avalon's Beaches, museums, and attractions.

Before You Go

Avalon has worked and spent large sums of money in infrastructure to improve water quality in its bay. As of this publication we visited healthebay.org and saw Avalon is ranked in dry conditions as excellent, A+.


Sports Photography

Most beach sports photographers don't make a full time living in the trade, but they do have fun. Some of the best surf photographers, for instance, are surfers, themselves.

People Pictures

Everyone can take sunsets. Stock agencies have far too many. People pictures for editorial and advertising are in demand. If you can see a face, get a photo release!
