Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Avalon, or Avalon Bay, the only "official" city on Santa Catalina Island, is a rural waterfront town with the usual tourist-oriented businesses and services lining the coastline. Beside Avalon, the only other center of population is the small, unincorporated town of Two Harbors on the island.
Photograph caption dated May 24 1977 reads, "Pier at Avalon Bay is almost deserted, awaiting an influx of tourists despite drought."
