About Avalon
Avalon is situated on the easterly portion of Catalina Island,
22 miles south/southwest of the Los Angeles Harbor breakwater.
Avalon is a little over 2 2/3 square miles in size. . The picturesque
and leisurely seaport village of Avalon has a permanent population
of around 3,500 The island itself is 76 square miles in area,
85% of which is in a conservancy area to be maintained in its
natural state in perpetuity. The climate is mild and seldom gets
above 85 degrees in the summer. Usually, the temperature gets
no lower than the 50's in the winter. Because the city hugs the
water, evenings can be cool during the summer, and very cold in
the winter, with an annual visitor count of close to one million.
Catalina Island is part of Los Angeles County. Avalon schools
however, are part of the Long Beach Unified School District. The
Island's primary industry is tourism. Avalon has no smog and the
waters of the bay, as well as surrounding the island, are crystal
clear. Housing is premium in Avalon. Rents are comparable to those
in the Southern California beach areas for year round units. Avalon
is noted for its quality of life, ease of getting around, casual
lifestyle and the friendly people. There are two grocery stores.

churches, a Christian School, post office box mail service, regular
and cable television, Pacific Bell Telephone service, Southern
California Edison utility service and several small shops for
clothing, gifts, jewelry, artwork, etc. Recreational opportunities
