48 Hours on California’s ISLAND PARADISE! - This Is Catalina Island

Editorial Summary

The creators travel from St. Louis to Los Angeles to escape freezing weather, eventually taking a ferry to Catalina Island. Upon arriving in Avalon, they describe the Mediterranean atmosphere and the lack of cars in the town. They explore the island using a rented golf cart, which allows them to see local wildlife including the Catalina Island fox and deer. The creators visit historical sites such as the Wrigley home and enjoy views of the harbor from various vantage points. Their trip includes a seafood dinner featuring local catches like calamari and sand dab. On the second day, they take a local transit service to reach a hiking trail through the Botanic Gardens. During the hike, they observe more foxes and learn about the island's resident buffalo population, which originated from a movie production in the 1920s. After reaching a summit with views of Avalon, they return to town to explore the shops and local culture. They conclude their trip by advising future visitors to avoid weekends when cruise ships arrive to ensure a more relaxed experience.
