Description:
The Old Ben Statue in Avalon, CA, honors “Old Ben,” a beloved sea lion who became a local legend in the early 1900s for his friendly visits to Avalon Harbor. Locals and tourists were charmed by his playful nature, and he was often spotted sunbathing near boats or lounging on the pier. Today, the statue stands in Old Ben Park as a tribute to the town’s unique history and its connection to Catalina Island’s marine life.
