Descanso Beach Tours

Catalina Island is only 22 miles from LA and makes for a good day trip from there. #LifeAtExpedia
A short walk from the heart of Avalon on Catalina Island. On clear days it’s quite beautiful.
Lazy day on the beach. Anybody up for kayaking? #travelbug #avalon #catalinaisland #california #socal #channelislands #beachbum #watersport

Nice but feels old in a bad way. Obviously it's a historic hotel but even the newer updates are worn out. The door seals are nonexistent, we heard every conversation of passerbys.
