Fly Into Catalina's Airport In The Sky And Stay A While

Californians can now rejoice, as you can fly your own plane to Catalina Island once again thanks to the newly rebuilt Airport in the Sky. The Airport in the Sky offers a 3,250-foot-long runway and is located on a 1,600-foot mountaintop in the middle of the island.
From the airport it's a 45-minute shuttle ride to downtown Avalon where you can grab a delicious seafood lunch on the beach. Or you can grab a delicious meal (and some souvenirs) at Airport in the Sky's DC-3 Gifts & Grill, which offers sandwiches, Mexican cuisine and grilled eats along with live music and unmatched aerial views.
