Climb aboard the ‘Catalina Express’ ferry at the Catalina Sea and Air Terminal in San Pedro for ONE-WAY SERVICE to Catalina Island. You can expect awe-inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean on your trip.
The Catalina Express ferry schedule changes often depending on seasonality.
When it’s time to travel, hop aboard the Catalina Express in San Pedro, and relax on your journey across the Pacific to Catalina Island. You’ll arrive in Avalon, the southernmost city in Los Angeles County, in about 1 hour.
When you get off the ferry, walk just five minutes into downtown Avalon to begin your independent exploration of the Island. This is not a guided tour – your time on Catalina is your own to do whatever you wish. Admire views of the waterfront along Avalon Bay, perhaps visit a restaurant or café, go shopping, or do something more active (all at your own expense). The number of vehicles on the island is limited, so enjoy the pedestrian-friendly streets of town.
San Pedro
Part of The Los Angeles Port, San Pedro is home to landmarks like the Los Angeles Maritime Museum, as well as the USS Iowa and SS Lane Victory ships. You’ll embark and disembark the ferry at the Catalina Sea and Air Terminal. Ferry schedule varies by season; the ferries can accommodate surfboards, strollers, and bikes.
