Catalina Island | Discover Avalon’s Beauty: Beaches, Casino, and More! 

Great video!! I really enjoyed it! As someone who grew up on the island, I appreciated your enthusiasm for sweet little Avalon! It’s such a beautiful and quaint little beach town. Lots to do and see, and SO much history! I’m glad you were at the Chimes Tower JUST as they rang! (Every quarter of an hour from 8am to 8pm. 😉) This video gave me some mad nostalgia! Our cottage was at Ida Courts which has long since been torn down to make way for the new, beautiful museum there on Metropole Street. Man…. what I wouldn’t give to go back in time and see it all the way it was just one more time. 🥹 But the charm and welcome remains the same, even if some of the buildings and businesses look different! Thanks for this video, sir. You’ve made my day. And make sure to plan another trip where you can take a tour to see the interior as well as a Two Harbors tour! Talk about history. 🤌🏼 Happy traveling friend!! 🙏🏼

Just about the most beautiful little place I've seen in the USA. I am sure there's a ton of other places, especially in Florida, and of course other places too. But I sure do like this place. Thanks for the upload, Novel World Travels, and hello from London-Ontario, Canada 😊

Love it! Great tour of a place I love to visit. Thanks

Great video ! I used to come across on the SS Catalina back in the day. Now we go every year. Your narration and video are great . Thanks so much !

I really enjoyed seeing all the homes on the island. They really show off the creativity of the people who live there. That view of the beach from above is beautiful. You caught the clock bells at the right moment! The casino looks nice. That beach looks beautiful, but the rocks look a bit tricky along that shoreline. Great look around the island 😊

The island is very beautiful!

I live in L.A. and love visiting Avalon. The city has plenty to do, but is small enough to be walkable. Although renting a golf cart is fun, too. My favorite place for breakfast is The Sandtrap, by the golf course. Tasty huevos rancheros and patio seating. A great way to start the day. The first time I went to Catalina was about 35 years ago. I was there to record some segments for a radio show I was doing at the time. The Visitor Center gave me their phone number and told me I would never forget it - and they were right. After dialing the area code, the number is 5-10-15-20. It doesn't get any easier than that. When we were touring the Casino, our guide said they would call the organist to see if he was home. He was, and he came down to play the 1929 Page Pipe Organ for us. Awesome to hear that massive pipe organ. Hotels on the island can be pricey, as can AirBNB rentals, but Avalon is a great place to relax, unwind, enjoy good food and great weather. I'll be heading over there again soon!

Beautiful video Kenny 👌🏾. Today was a really rough day, Thanks for picking me up and taking me somewhere Gorgeous to distract me for a while 🙏🏾. I’ve never been here before, I’d definitely love to visit, it’s beautiful and seems so peaceful. Stay well. Best☀️, R✌🏾

Nice! I’ve been there but we didn’t get to do the bison tour as planned. There was a Zydeco event happening and we got stuck at the Mexican restaurant eating, dancing and socializing. I didn’t see it in your footage, but the restaurant was before getting to the casino. It’s been years, so maybe they closed it or changed it to something else. I would definitely love to see that bell tower up close.

Probably no gangs either,gotta love it
