One perfect day on Catalina Island: Avalon via Catalina Express, Restaurants, food, and things to do

As part time residents of Coronado Island off the coast of San Diego, we sometimes have friends confuse our home with Catalina island, which is off the coast of LA county. But we’ve never actually been to Catalina and we know almost nothing about this other vacation hotspot, aside from its reputation for legendary wine mixers. So this morning we’re taking a ferry from Long Beach to experience the food, culture, and activities first-hand. Let’s start devouring.

ABOUT US.
We’re the Lockwoods: a family with 3 kids, 5 careers, and endless passion for adventure. Two years ago, we decided it was time for Phil's ad agency to abandon the in-person, 5-day workweek. So they 86’d the office and work hours, allowing our own family to start traveling almost constantly. We now work, school, and explore in a different place every week-from our own mountain and beach homes to exotic villas, resorts, and yachts around the world. As we experience and support diverse cultures, we hope to inspire more families to design a life of freedom and adventure.
Because there’s a new American Dream. It’s one that’s void of templated expectations, templated career paths, templated education, templated families, templated homes, and templated lives. Freedom is no longer an American tagline-it’s just the new, global way of life.
Every day that you spend doing something that doesn’t fulfill you to your core, you’re living your life on pause. You’re deferring genuine family time with no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow or a someday. Some people follow that mentality their entire lives. We’ve chosen to never live that way again.
We appreciate you following our journey. The more our channel grows, the more time we can spend traveling to more locations, contributing to these cultures, highlighting local businesses, and sharing inspiring stories from these communities. So please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing so that you can stick with us for the long haul.

    Very nice vlog as always. I can really feel those summer vibes. Could see a glimpse on how many people show up there. I am so glad you really enjoyed the experience. I will for sure have to go there one day, it sounds very interesting. With the knowledge you provide , I now know exactly where to go for food and sweets and tourist areas. I really appreciate everything you do for this channel and the fundraising you do . I am always going to look forward for your next upcoming adventures. I want to wish you an amazing happy anniversary and a lovely summer.

    What a great spot, I've heard about it in name, but never knew anything more... I could easily spend a season there, being a happy beach bum, munching on seafood, sweets and drinking java. ;) Thanks fam.

    Thank you 🙏! It was a fun, full day. We’re impressed that our kids are such troopers. I think we all crash at the end of days like this but it’s worth it to see so many great spots in this world.

    Fun!!! I'm so glad at least a few of our videos are helpful for you! I hope it's not too crowded on the island. Since school has started, it probably won't be. I hope you have a great time!

    Where do you leave the kids at when you're drinking at the bar? Luau Larry's doesn't provide daycare. So you just leave the kids in a playground while imbibing? What's the name of the playground?? Is it supervised??? 🤫
