A Day Adventure!

Catalina Island
Ideal if you have half a day or maybe overnight, a lot of things to do on the island, will require a ferry ride, easiest to leave from the Long Beach Port to Avalon (the other Catalina landing site.

Two Harbors, is great if you are more rustic and mainly for camping!
