When is the shoulder season for Catalina Island? I would like to visit when the Avalon is at it's cheapest!
Do you know if I can swim at that time of year?
Thanks

There are basically 2 seasons on Catalina:
Low from the middle/end of October through mid-May, and High from mid-May til October. Swimming is doable (assuming you have a tolerance for cold water) in the summer.
thanks for your help!
Catalina hosts a jazz festival during the first 3 weekends in October, which drives up the prices and availability of lodging during those weekends:

I will probably look at early May. Warmer is better for me!
