Why take a ferry from Long Beach to Avalon ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Long Beach to Avalon ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Avalon. Here are 3 reasons why we think Long Beach to Avalon ferry is an ideal way to travel.

No need to worry about traveling with your bike
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the huge garage of the boat. You leave it there for the duration of the Long Beach-Avalon crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Avalon to get off the boat.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Long Beach to Avalon, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with bunks, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are just like real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. In Long Beach, as soon as you leave the port, take a walk on the deck of the Catalina Express boat and enjoy the sea spray and the invigorating sea air enriched with oxygen: a real thalasso cure and very effective for ventilating the lungs! The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will instantly soothe you. You'll arrive in Avalon perfectly zen and full of energy.
