The best of winter is yet to be had on Catalina Island.
By Kim Zep
The month of March is notoriously changeable, even by Southern California standards. If the Farmer’s Almanac saying holds true and March “comes in like a lion” then it should “go out like a lamb” meaning the promise of mild, spring-like temperatures are just behind the impending rainstorms. Travel options during this season become ever more unique, and affordable, which makes now a good time to plan your escape.
Take Catalina Island, for example. Just a short ferry ride away, Catalina beckons as the perfect place to slip away for cool-weather adventuring, taking in the local happenings, exploring the burgeoning food scene, or simply cozying up with a brew and a bestseller.
