Visit Catalina Island: Lloyd's of Avalon

Of course we stopped to get some ice cream while on Catalina Island.  We ended up at Lloyd's of Avalon , where one of the employees told us they source the ice cream from various vendors (so it's not housemade). Cookie Monster Mocha Almond Fudge Bubble Gum Honey Churro I had the Honey Churro, which was a little too sweet for my liking. Everyone else loved the ice cream flavors they chose, however. The ice cream definitely helped to beat the Catalina Island heat! Lloyd's of Avalon 315 Crescent Ave Avalon, CA 90704

Gardner Bay is a nesting site for sea turtles and home to one of the most important colonies of sea lions in the archipelago. Afterward, travelers will visit Punta Suarez for another opportunity to see Nazca and blue-footed boobies.

Elizabeth Bay is one of the most eastern points of the Galápagos visited on this trip. There, guests will have a chance to mingle with sea turtles, rays and herons when exploring the sheltered coves. To the west at Moreno Point, there are more seabirds than one can imagine and the chance to hike through lava rock leading to secluded tide pools and mangroves, rife with wildlife.
