Catalina Island, CA.
The main town of Catalina is Avalon and the airport unfortunately is nowhere near it. You'd have to take a bus that is another 25 bucks (one way). I wasn't really interested in sightseeing and hence skipped that option. Instead I went for a Catalina Island speciality - The Buffalo burger, at the really nice airport café. With views such as the one above you can't really go wrong.
The story behind the Catalina bison (yeah, it's not really a buffalo) go back to 1924 when a silent Western was being shot on the island. To add to the realism the producers simply imported a bunch pf bison and these then were left behind to breed. Today the bison is a much loved part of what makes Catalina special and people come here to treck and (hopefully) get a glimpse of this powerful animal.
I didn't treck and just had one for lunch instead.
