Phone Directory

Locals refer to the East End and West End of Santa Catalina Island, with Avalon at the East end and Two Harbors at the West End. The length of the island actually runs northwest and southeast.

The windward side of the island is sometimes called the "back" side and the land outside the city of Avalon is referred to as the "interior."

From an Islander's point of view, the mainland is "overtown."
