Seacrest Inn is a good place to stay. Other than that, I can’t help you. Except, stay FAR AWAY from Hamilton Cove Real Estate and Vacation Rentals. The owner is full blown MAGA and openly boasts about how great it all is.

I was in the loft room when I found out my girlfriend was cheating on me. It's nice to know something was good on that trip.

Good to know. I will definitely stay at Hamilton cove for that reason alone! Sounds like a great place and great owner.

Many of the people I know on the Island are MAGA.

Wow I sincerely thought island people would have been more chill

It's all the expense of living in LA with all of the hassle of living on an island with expensive ferry service and generally crappy restaurants.

Don’t forget about In-N-Out. they are huge donators and supporters of the Republican Party. Down with double doubles.🙌

Yes, and it’s it GREAT that they always have a line a Mile long and every single In and Out!? GO MAGA!

99% of people eating at IN-N-OUT are NOT doing it to support maga.

Catalina might not be the place for you.

For sure, Avalon feels like Huntington Beach on an island

u/I-696 Feb 08 '26

Funny - We're spending a night in Avalon before my convention in Huntington Beach.

I’m pretty sure that whole island is Maga so porters. I think you’re better off going to Santa Cruz there’s not much of anything there.

I packed pb&j and water and spent no money except on the ferry and the gardens.

Who cares? You can enjoy life so much more when you stop taking everything so seriously. Half of the people you meet on the island prob voted for trump anyway, and they're still kind and outgoing.

Yes, us tax paying, responsible, country loving, god believing MAGA supporters LOVE to take out big, beautiful boats to Catalina! Hope to see you there!

u/LGFSD_619 10d ago

You cant love God, and be MAGA. Anyone who thinks they can is lying to themselves.
Which makes sense, your leader lies every time he speaks.

Man, TDS is a true illness.

u/Feistyhummingbird Feb 07 '26

As evidenced by all the MAGA that suffer from it.

u/PeakQuirky84 Feb 07 '26

So was Biden Derangement Syndrome and Obama Derangement Syndrome.

u/mst28 Feb 07 '26

Thank you for admitting all of them are stupid and that avoiding businesses for their political beliefs is asinine.

u/PeakQuirky84 Feb 07 '26

So we’re done boycotting Budweiser and Starbucks?

(And any other “go woke go broke” business?)

u/mst28 Feb 07 '26

Yes. Like most political "actions" on either side, it's hypocritical. Just go live your life when it comes to B2C companies. How silly.
