Green Pleasure Pier Catalina Casino

 

 

Another gorgeous day on Catalina Island with the Green Pleasure Pier (isn't that a great name?) in the forefront and the Catalina Casino in the background.

 

I even got a little time in the beautiful blue water today while watching others play.

The Catalina Flyer is Off for Maintenance - However, the Catalina Adventure is Here

The Catalina Flyer is Off for Maintenance - However, the Catalina Adventure is Here

 

 The Catalina Flyer leaves from Newport Beach and goes to Catalina Island for a wonderful day of adventure in Avalon.

 

It is temporarily off duty for maintenance.  However, I took the Catalina Adventure to Catalina today, and it was a lot of fun.

Catalina Adventure

It is significantly smaller than the Catalina Flyer and for now no bikes or coolers are allowed due to space restrictions.  For me, the joy of being out on the bow enjoying the wind and watching and actually feeling the waves, more than made up for the difference in size.

 

So, if you're planning on taking a trip to Catalina, you can still go from Newport Beach and enjoy the new, temporary catamarand.

I have been fortunate to live around the Pacific Ocean nearly my entire life and never tire of the beauty that is available at any time here.  This day, I was fortunate to capture a picture of two pelicans who apparently share my appreciation of the ocean.

Day Trips from Orange County - Catalina Island

Day Trips from Orange County - Catalina Island

 

 

Catalina Island is one of the eight islands that makes up the Channel Islands archipelao.g

 

Located 26.2 miles off the coast, Catalina Island is a great day trip.

 

 

You can jump on the boat in the morning.  Enjoy a day on the sand, shopping or in the interior of the island observing the wild life, and still be back in time for dinner.

 

It's very convenient to hop on the Catalina Flyer and take a quick 75 minute trip.  After enjoying the ocean, sea lions, dolphins and whales, you'll land at Avalon and have just a few minute walk into town.

 

 

 

 

Getting around Avalon, Catalina's main town.  Is easy.  It's a mile square, and everything is in easy walking distance.  This lovely little town feels like a small mediterranean village.

 

If you want to get around the hills behind town, you can rent a golf cart.

 

Wondering what else there is to enjoy on Catalina Island? Try a glass bottom boat, parasailing, kayaking, snorkeling, biking or indulge at a spa.

 

If you decide that one day is just not enough to enjoy all that Catalina has to offer, spend a night or two in one of many hotels and bed and breakfasts offered by the Island.

If you've never been to Catalina Island, be sure to take a day or a weekend to see all that this lovely place has to offer.

If you think that a day or two on Catalina isn't enough, you might consider buying one of the lovely homes available.

In addition to the homes for sale in the multiple listing service, we have a lovely home that is just coming on the market. Please contact Christine Donovan at 800-610-7253 x 1 for details.

 

 Please click Catalina homes for sale to see other homes that are currently available.

 See additional pictures in the slide show below.
