Most people who come to Catalina Island never leave Avalon... A little farther up the coast, past the harbor traffic, is White's Landing — a small outpost camp on a stretch of beach remote enough to matter. No cruise ships, no buildings, no highways, no crowds — just trees, sand, and water, mountains at your back and the ocean in front.

The sky opens up in a way that, if you've spent most of your life in a city, will genuinely stop you in your tracks.
