Visit Catalina Island: Golf Gardens

We had zero planned for the Catalina Island port, and as we roamed around, we saw that mini golf was nearby.  

Golf Gardens turned out to be a lot of fun!

There were all sorts of tricky holes, and as the kids gave the trick shots their best efforts, lots of laughter ensued!

It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours on Catalina Island!

Visit Catalina Island: Coney Island West

We grabbed a quick bite at Coney Island West while on Catalina Island because one of my kids wanted Fish & Chips. 

Fish & Chips

Onion Rings

The food was satisfying and hit the spot.  There is limited seating in the restaurant area, but you can find places to sit along the main street to eat your food while gazing out into the ocean.

Visit Catalina Island: Catalina Coffee & Cookie Co.

Our first stop on Catalina Island was to Catalina Coffee & Cookie. Co. for some refreshing drinks and sweet treats. 

Mango Strawberry Smoothie, Matcha Latte, Peach Strawberry Smoothie

The cookie was huge, soft, and chewy.

Best Brownie Ever

I personally wouldn't consider the brownie the "Best Ever," but it was really good - chewy and moist.

Order online to minimize the wait time!
