The Catalina Way. An Insider's Guide to Catalina Island

Thanksgiving was meant for rest, relaxation, and spending time with your loved ones.  But too often, that gets lost in the confusion of traffic, cooking, clean-up, and shopping chaos that surrounds the holiday. 

Why not spend your Thanksgiving on Catalina?  November is one of the islands least-crowded month, meaning that you will be able to enjoy Catalina’s relaxed pace, beautiful weather, and activities crowd-free.  And because almost all of the attractions are open during the winter that are open during the summer, you won’t have to sacrifice any of the excitement or fun that you might have to sacrifice if traveling to another destination during its least busy season. 

Many of Catalina’s hotels and restaurants feature Thanksgiving specials to ensure that your holiday is delicious as well as relaxed.  For instance, the Catalina Country Club will be offering its annual buffet, with sage-roasted turkey, honey mustard spiral ham, roasted garlic and mascarpone mashed potatoes, and more.  As always, no membership is required, but reservations are required, as this always sells out. 

To make your visit especially stress-free, consider booking the Catalina Island Company’s Thanksgiving Package.  With one call, you can book island passage, hotel accommodations, the buffet, and your choice of the Avalon Scenic Tour, Glass Bottom Boat Tour, or the Casino Tour.
