Hello and welcome aboard the Catalina Express. Through this Virtual Reality episode, you will discover a beautiful island that is located between the California’s Channel. The island lies southwest of Los Angeles and is known for its beautiful wildlife, dive sites, and Mt. Orizaba, if you can get to its highest peak. On a clear day, you can see this beautiful island from the Dana Point Harbor, Newport Harbor, and beaches all throughout San Clemente. This island is home to two Harbors that lies to the north of the Island. To the south of the island, lies the city of Avalon, where there are palm trees and cabanas that line the Descanso Beach.
