Santa Catalina Island, or Catalina, as it is popularly known, is a favored playground for Southern Californians and visitors to the area. Here, there area myriad of outdoor activities along with options for rest and relaxation. Served by Catalina Express boats from San Pedro, Long Beach and Dana Point, California, the town of Avalon is a quaint village with an oceanfront promenade lined with restaurants, boutiques and hotels. From the promenade, visitors can stroll along the world-famous glass bottom boat rides, a semi-submersible undersea tour, flying fish boat trip, coastal cruise and a romantic sunset buffet cruise. Cars are strictly limited on the island so most visitors rent bicycles or golf carts or take motor coach tours of the island's beautiful interior. The Catalina interior is a nature preserve teeming with flora and fauna found nowhere else in the world. Catalina Discovery Tours offers trips into the rugged interior where one can see deer, buffalo and island fox roaming free on the diverse landscape, which ranges from dry, coastal desert to verdant woodlands. For the outdoor enthusiast, there are camp grounds, hiking paths and scenic trails, which can be explored by horseback. There are also wonderful, protected coves with forests of giant kelp and underwater gardens for the enjoyment of snorkelers and scuba divers.
