Here’s a rundown of how we spent the day.

Since we did this trip in January and it was a little chilly, the beach and watersports were out of the question, so we decided to take a later ferry. Learn more

We left Newport Beach on the 11 AM ferry and it was a pleasant hour and a half trip over to Catalina Island.

The #1 thing I wanted to do in Catalina was a golf cart tour so we decided to do that first thing. There are a few different places you can rent, but we went with Catalina Island Golf Cart Rentals and Tours. Learn more

They gave us a map and directions for how to follow the loop but it ended up being pretty self explanatory. The whole town is practically designed to be seen from a golf cart and the views are GREAT! Learn more

For lunch we went to the BlueWater Grill and it has the best views. It’s a cute place right on the water, and we had great lobster rolls. The cesar salad and key lime pie were excellent too. Learn more
