YouTube Video Description↓

This video is a brief tour of Catalina Island. This is a tender port offered on some west coast itineraries. It is an island 29 miles off the coast of Long Beach CA. We did a golf cart tour of the island and then walked around the marina and town of Avalon CA. If you are curious about the island and trying to decide if it's worth getting on the tender to the port, this may help you figure it out.
