Two Harbors vs Avalon
Avalon is a little California beach side town. Plenty to hold your interest for about 2 days. It is main tourist site on the island. Plenty of places to sightseeing, golf, motor tours to go on, hiking, etc. There’s also a nice SPA, picturesque scenery, and great places to eat. Personally, chilling at the beach will occupy a lot of time.
Two Harbors is barely a town. There is one store, one bar/cafe, one restaurant. You are definitely going to want to be much more outdoorsy and adventurous to be here for 2 days. Things to do are hiking, kayaking, a tour of the USC Marine Biology lab, and happy hour at Banning hour.
