Per the list, the most beautiful small town in California is Avalon. Avalon also raked as the third most beautiful small town in the country!

Here's what Travel & Leisure had to say about the most beautiful small town in the entire state:

"Picture this: colorful homes rising into the hills above a stunning blue bay banded with bright white boats. That’s Avalon, the only incorporated city on Santa Catalina Island, though you’d be forgiven for thinking it's a destination in the middle of the Mediterranean. Home to Wrigley Memorial & Botanical Gardens, Lovers Cove (a marine sanctuary), and the iconic Catalina Casino and Avalon Theatre, this resort community will make you feel like you’re a continent away while still remaining firmly in Los Angeles County."
