We stayed at the Hotel Atwater, which has lovely, modern rooms and a sleek, airy lobby. It was built by Wrigley and opened in 1920. A total overhaul of the property took place in 2019. Our room wasn’t large, but we had a nice queen bed and a small fridge. All guests get two small bottles of sparkling w**e on arrival day. The hotel also provides a $20 per room/per night food and beverage credit that can be used at Bistro at the Atwater, Avalon Grille, or Descanso Beach Club. In addition, guests get 15% off Catalina Island Company activities & tours and complimentary beach towels.

Getting There: The Catalina Express operates ferries to Avalon from Long Beach, San Pedro, and Dana Point, which is just south of Laguna Beach in Orange County. You can also take a boat from San Pedro to the town of Two Harbors in Catalina. We left from Long Beach, where they’re opening a posh new Fairmont hotel (Breakers) in the coming weeks.

It was time for us to head back to town, so we clambered into Lopez’s truck, and I closed my eyes for the ride down the hill. At least this time I was facing the side of a hill, and not gazing out over the dropoff.

As we stand under the shade of a sturdy tree by the water, Lopez and Cassidy swap stories about lost hikers and about the island’s famous bison and mule deer. The bison were brought in for the making of a Western movie back in the 1920s and quickly multiplied. The island has perhaps only 150, which you can see by taking a Catalina Bison Expedition.

“Oh, hey, Pastor. I thought you might be out surfing, but I saw your truck and thought I’d say hi.”

He quickly came up with a new program for the morning, taking us to a scenic lookout that offered fine views from a rounded, gentle slope. I stood safely on the hill, with dusty chaparral at my feet, and gazed out at the island. To my right, I could see the red tile roof of the rounded, beautiful Catalina Casino, with the blue Pacific as a perfect backdrop. To my left, I could see an olive-green point of land that guards Two Harbors, which is both a bay and a town of maybe 300 souls. It’s the only community on Catalina Island other than Avalon.

The tourism folks for Catalina and the Catalina Express ferry team also suggested a hike, which sounded splendid, and arranged for a guide to pick us up. As it turned out, the regular guide couldn’t make it, so they brought in a local fellow named Pastor Lopez to drive us to the hiking area.
