Avalon captures the spirit of island living with a blend of scenic beauty and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The city’s Mediterranean-inspired architecture hugs the sweeping coastline, while the picturesque harbor fills with vibrant boats and sparkling reflections at sunset. Residents and newcomers alike can enjoy the centerpiece of town, Crescent Avenue, where boutique shops, open-air cafes, and local art galleries line the waterfront. The Catalina Island Museum offers fascinating insight into the island’s history and culture, while the iconic Catalina Casino hosts tours, films, and events beneath its grand Art Deco dome.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Descanso Beach Club provides a sun-soaked escape, and the nearby Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden invites exploration among rare, native plants. Active families will appreciate the myriad hiking trails and water adventures, from snorkeling in Lover’s Cove to paddleboarding in the gentle bay.
Education is served by the Avalon School, part of the Long Beach Unified School District, offering a close-knit environment from kindergarten through high school. Proximity to mainland cities like Long Beach ensures access to urban amenities just a ferry ride away, while the city’s unique character and laid-back lifestyle make it an appealing destination to put down roots.
