LWYC “Catalina Day” Thursday October 16, 2025 Welcome aboard for the Laguna Woods Yacht Club’s outing to the beautiful Catalina Island! If you have not already done so, please register for this event on the Club’s website www.lwyc.us or on the Wild Apricot app. To make the most of your day, here are three things that you should do: 1. Watch This Space! As the event gets closer, we will be adding more information to this web page including directions to the pier in Newport Beach, parking options near the dock, and boarding of the Catalina Flyer. We strongly recommend that participants carpool from Laguna Woods to Newport Beach! The itinerary for the Flyer on October 16 will be: To Avalon: 9:00am – 10:15am To Newport: 4:30pm – 5:45pm For our departure from Newport Beach, participants are requested to be at the dock and ready to board by 8:00am. After our day in Catalina, participants are requested to be back at the dock no later than 4:00pm. More information to come! 2. Plan Your Activities for the Day Once in Avalon, you will have the day to explore and enjoy the island at your own pace. Stroll along charming Crescent Avenue, visit the historic Casino building, or take a guided golf cart tour to panoramic island viewpoints. For the adventurous, ziplining through canyon ridges or hiking the Garden to Sky Trail are great options. For a description of over 20 tours and activities that await you on Catalina click on this link Things To Do - Catalina Island Company. This site has detailed descriptions and pictures of each event and times that they are offered. The site also allows you to book and pay for your chosen activity(s).

When planning your activities, please remember that you need to be back at the pier by 4:00pm, one half hour before our scheduled departure! 3.
