Escape to Catalina!

Looking for a great day trip or weekend getaway? Catalina Island is the place for you! Just about an hour from Newport Beach it feels like another world.

Getting to Catalina is easy. Just hop on the Catalina Flyer from the Balboa Fun Zone. The Catalina Flyer, the largest passenger-carrying catamaran on the West Coast, features a richly appointed interior, sweeping sun decks, full-service cocktail lounges, stately viewing windows and Ride Control. So if you want comfort, service, a friendly crew, or just want to work on your tan, the Catalina Flyer is your choice. The Catalina Flyer is not only the FASTEST boat, but the BEST way to the island.

Once you arrive there is plenty to do for all ages. From snorkeling to golf, horseback riding, dining, or taking a tour, you will never run out of activities. There are also bike and golf cart rentals so you can explore on your own.

If you're having so much fun you want to stay we recommend the Pavilion Lodge located on the main beach. Of course there are many other romantic options. Just log onto http://www.catalina.com/ to check out them all.

Catalina is one of the many destinations that are easily accessible from Orange County. Hope you enjoy!
