Creator's Key Takeaways

one of the challenges that I've always had when visiting Catalina is that while there are some very good places to eat it is a resort island where everything is very expensive

naughty Fox located in Avalon this restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its outdoor patio and cozy atmosphere

local favorites and hidden gems however are often found one block back or at the end of the road

our local friends tell us to make sure we let people know to skip Starbucks this is also the best coffee shop on the island

Creator's Tips & Advice

YouTube Video Description

One of the challenges that I have with most cruise destinations is that there's lots of places that are good at marketing ... but poor at producing a good quality product when it comes to serving up a hearty lunch. Catalina Island is one of the most popular cruise destinations on the west coast and they are not immune to this either. Thankfull, the folks at Catalina Express invited us to spend a few days exploring the island and doing research to find some favorites that we're happy to share with you!
