Have you ever wondered what
it's like to stay on Catalina Island, CA?

How many times have you thought about
escaping the mainland altogether and spending some time
enjoying life on a paradise island? What would you say if I
could show you how to do it much closer, and very much
cheaper than you thought it would be?
Santa Catalina Island, located 22 Miles west
of Los Angeles, is America's greatest island retreat, and
best kept vacation secret.
Catalina is wonderfully unique in that it is
the perfect distance away from the mainland. It is close
enough that you can get there by a one-hour ferry ride, but
also far enough away to feel totally separated from the
mainland altogether, giving you the full experience of a
tropical resort isolated in the middle of the Pacific.
There is one major resort town, the City of
Avalon, where you will arrive by any commercial water route.
Once there, the Island has 76 square miles of adventure in
every form waiting for you, from mountain climbing to scuba
diving, all within easy reach of your luxury
accommodations.
Avalon is a city that was literally created
for the lone purpose of being an exotic tourist destination.
Even now, over a hundred years later, the beautiful city
still excels at this vision. There are no office buildings
there; no government buildings, no people employed for any
reason other than the tourism trade, and the supporting
industries (like groceries and utilities) that are needed to
support the town. This makes the entire island an ideal
paradise retreat for escaping the problems we face in our
modern world.
