Santa Catalina Island lies about 22 miles off the Southern California coast. Cruise ships anchor offshore and tender passengers into Avalon, the island's compact, walkable resort town on Avalon Bay; some calls instead use Two Harbors on the isthmus. Highlights include the landmark Catalina Casino, glass-bottom and semi-submersible boat tours, snorkeling and diving at Lover's Cove, and the harbor promenade.
