Families will find plenty of activities for all ages on Catalina Island
Despite its reputation as the Island of Romance, Catalina can also be an ideal vacation for the entire family. For more than a century, families have been escaping the mainland madness and discovering the allure of Avalon as a place to relax and reconnect.
In the summer, spring and fall – and even frequently in the winter – the beach is an inescapable attraction; its gentle waves and sloping sands perfect for even the youngest island visitor. Several playgrounds are located in Avalon: boat park, near the boat terminal is great for smaller kids, City Park and Friendship Park have playscapes more suited to grade school kids. Avalon has its own skate park and older children will also enjoy the adventures of ziplining, snorkeling and kayaking.
Families with kids of all ages will appreciate Three Palms Arcade and most of Avalon’s restaurants are family friendly.
