Indulge in a cultural adventure at the Catalina Museum for Art & History. Soak in the history of Catalina and enjoy special, limited-time showcases such as the Norman Rockwell exhibition. In 1942, Catalina Island was closed to tourism and shifted to support the American troops as a training center for the U.S. Maritime Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Signal Corps, and the Office of Strategic Service (O.S.S.). In honor of their sacrifice and the 80th anniversary of Catalina’s involvement in WWII, the museum is hosting “Norman Rockwell in the 1940s: A View of the American Homefront”.

Before saying good-bye to Catalina, walk down Crescent Avenue, or Front Street as the locals call it, for some high class shopping. One-of-a-kind art pieces and Catalina Tile can be found in a variey of boutiques. If something sweet is calling your name, stop by Scoops of Avalon for homemade gelato and ice cream.

Travel Tips

Interested in exploring Avalon on your own rather than taking a guided tour? Rent a golf cart from Catalina Island Golf Cart. Once you get behind the wheel, you can see the town and capture every moment at your own pace. Experiencing the scenic views overlooking the city will have you planning your next trip back.
