Bluewater Avalon is a waterfront seafood restaurant right on Avalon Bay on Catalina Island, known for its sustainable fresh seafood, New American classics and stunning views from its outdoor patio. The relaxed, casual atmosphere makes it a popular stop for lunch or dinner, with dishes ranging from cioppino and fish tacos to chowders, salads and steaks. Many travelers highlight the gorgeous harbor setting and inviting outdoor seating, perfect for soaking up island vibes while you dine.

What makes Bluewater especially great for dog travelers is its dog-friendly outdoor patio—canine companions are welcome as long as they’re trained and on a leash. The restaurant typically provides water bowls and complimentary treats for pups joining their humans al fresco, so your dog can relax by your side while you enjoy the view and your meal.
