Dc-3 Gifts And Grill - AVALON

Took a shuttle up to this place, which is at the top of a mountain on Catalina Island. It's actually an air strip with a restaurant grill and gift shop. I had the bison tacos and they were amazing. Even saw a bison cross our path on the way up. (No we did not eat him)

Wonderful little eatery and souvenir shop in the middle of Catalina! Absolutely Off the beaten Path, Beautiful views while you eat, definitely not a crowded tourist destination, well worth the experience! As of 7/17/2021 the landing fee was $35, payable at the tower.

Great place to visit for breakfast, lunch and a hike. The airport shuttle leaves from The Trail Head in Avalon, several times a day, round trip is around $35 (don't forget to tip your driver). The airport is historical as well as the DC-3 cafe which has great views overlooking the canyon. There's a gift shop as well. Don't forget to try their famous homemade-meal size cookies. If you have the time and/or the inclination there's also the airport hiking trail which takes about 90 minutes to complete. Great alternative to a tour.

Great tour and tour guide. This is the highest point on Catalina Island and a good place to put an airport. Nothing commercial, saw only small private planes.

Nice little prive airport in Catalina Island. Delicious burgers and sandwiches. I loved the gift shop!!
