SAGE'S TRAVEL TIPS FOR SHARK HARBOR, CATALINA ISLAND: CAMP LITTLE HARBOR- set up right on the beach. Gorgeous! BANNING HOUSE LODGE is a secluded bed & breakfast on Isthmus. Take a taxi, bus or hike to Shark Harbor. PAVILION HOTEL on Avalon for Nomads who want a fancier hotel or to stay in the city. A one-hour ride through the island interior to get to the Shark Harbor beach-stunning views! KAYAK TRANSPORT from Avalon to Shark Harbor Ask for Chip, the company owner. He’s awesome and full of island history- it's a great way to learn the best of Catalina from a true local. Upon arrival on Shark Harbor, Chip rents private kayaks. I always go to EL GALLEON for dinner and karaoke. The restaurant is Pirates of the Caribbean-in California. It's a riot! The AIRPORT restaurant is great for take away sandwiches to eat on the beach. Make sure to check out the view and little museum out front while your lunch is being prepared. Yummy breakfast at JACK’S. ~Sage Machado November 2013 |
