Hiii I’m thinking of going to Catalina in early March 2027. I’m wondering how the weather is at that time? I know it’s off season so wondering if shops are open or closed. Also how the weather will be? Sometimes it’s rainy or flood season in LA.. so how’s your experience going there?

I’m proposing to my girlfriend this weekend on a private sailboat ride. When I booked this about 2 months ago, I had done some research and from what I could see, it wasn’t gonna be particularly sunny, but it would be ok. Now with the flood warnings, potential rain, and my proposal taking place on Saturday between 11 and 1, I’m curious if anyone has any other ideas in the event that we get rained out. It has to be Saturday and I’m open to all ideas.

Hello, we are in LA for few weeks, group of 6 adults. would love to visit Catalina island, for a day trip, what would be best Ferry to take, and any recommendations and advice, Thanks,


the party will be intimate, cozy, just 8 people. We're considering food and some extra performance if the vendor also provides it. I think Hibachi At Home looks fun too, it fits the theme well, both kids and adults can enjoy the food

Hi everyone!
My husband and I are planning an anniversary getaway to Catalina Island with our infant, and I’d love some advice and recommendations from those who’ve been or live there.
A few questions and context:
Is 2 days too long with a baby? Or is it the right amount of time for a low-key trip?
Things to do: What are the best baby/stroller-friendly activities? Are glass-bottom boat tours or renting a golf cart worth it with a little one?
Where to eat: Looking for good vegetarian-friendly spots.
Vibe: We don’t drink alcohol, so we're looking for nice dining options where the focus is on good food and views rather than nightlife/bars.
Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hello! Is anyone interested in renting out their golf cart for two hours on Tuesday the 20th?

I’m planning a visit for to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, but rental services unfortunately only rent out to people ages 25+, and I’m 21. If anyone is interested, please send me a message! Thanks

I just bought a place on the island. Anyone have any good referrals for a handyman? I have some furniture that needs to be put together along with some other tasks

I have a McGregor sailboat, which has a very shallow draft, 9 inches to be exact. I’d like to go to Kat Harbor and just anchor and shallow water for a couple of nights. Is that possible?

I know that extreme rationing led the the selling of bottled water almost a decade ago. But the practice has not gone away and servers are actually saying to people that you cannot drink the water... I think this is a huge black eye to the reputation of the town and it is a complete lie.

Also, why has the city council not called out the waste created with all the single use plastic?

Edit: ... Call out to The Lobster Trap.... Who not only don't contribute to this practice...they give tap water in reusable souvenir cups that promote their brand... Bravo

I was curious every time while visiting. Who does all the construction? Do all plumbers and electricians travel daily, and then you're left with 1-2 options that could charge anything during night/ storm?

I’m in Catalina for the first time right now and had planned to snorkel either the casino dive park or lovers cove tomorrow and Sunday. However, I ran into someone who said the wind coming in from the hurricane is going to make it way too choppy. I know it’s hard to predict for sure and I can just walk out there tomorrow and see, but does anyone have any thoughts on whether it’s worth trying or silly to even try?

Hey friends. I’ve been coming to Catalina every year for my birthday in December for about 15 years now, but I’ve been coming consistently my entire life so about 34 years. I absolutely love Los Angeles but at the same time I’m at peace when I’m at home in Catalina. Does anybody have any advice or a real estate agent or anybody that has lived in the past?

Would love to know all your experiences.

Thank you!

i do this trip every year and usually just hike it, but my friend jonny I have both gotten hip injuries somehow in the last month, so neither of us are up for the hike, but still want to make the trip with our group.

we’re not totally immobile, so we’re considering trying to rent an e-bike or something? but mostly would be down to pay anyone in 2 harbors (or I guess Avalon if someone would be willing to drive out there for $) that’s willing to drive us or facilitate in some way. just dont know how to get in touch with the right people.

any and all leads or recs or ideas would be much appreciated.

Hello! I am going snorkeling in Catalina island in a few days (casino point) I’m worried to won’t be good cause people are saying all the kelp are dead. I’m trying to find photos take recently so I know what I’m expecting. I’m not expecting a full kelp forest but would like some kelp to see!

My navel piercing fell out yesterday, is there anywhere I could buy a new one on the island?

i bought five catalina tickets on groupon and then the date that i wanted to go for sold out. and i bought them in such a hurry that i didnt realize i got five tickets instead of four for my group. if anyone is interested pls let me know & ill send over the info. it's 4x weekday tickets, 1x weekend tix and expires feb 2027.

A few days ago adult tickets were $44.50, I see today they’re $46.50. I’m aware of the Island Wharfage Fee and Measure H, but why the increase now?

Can an islander or someone explain

I dive there often I’m shocked at this $2 jump.

Hello and thanks in advance!

We will be arriving by cruise ship on a Sunday this month. Been looking at bars that appear to be the fun dive, sports, themed kind of atmosphere and so far we’ve landed on…

Luau Larry’s, Locker Room Sports Bar, El Galleon, Sunset Bar, Sandtrap, and Flx Biergarten…

However it is hard to tell which would be the best to see and experience. We have a golf cart for two hours and a designated driver.

For those who know, if YOU were going to make your own small bar crawl with a 2 hour cart rental that you can return and then stay near the pier after, what would you recommend?

So far we have ideas like…

Start at Luau Larry’s, then head to Sunset Bar, then the Sandtrap, hit a scenic loop before heading over to The Locker Room, return the cart and end at Flx Biergarten.

Any pointers or happy hours we aren’t aware of will be appreciated!

(Sunday later this month, starting at noon, ending by 4pm at the latest)

I'm Going to Two Harbors to camp and fish for 3 days soon. Does anyone know of any good spots or piers or coves; something like that to catch and cook the fish? Also any gear or tackle recomendations that I should be aware of?

As a writer of the choicest in Hanna-Barbera fanfiction who's featured an annual storyline around the Avalon Harbour Underwater Cleanup for several years now, I'd like some clarity as to when exactly same is held annually.
