I flew there last year around Avalon, had no problem. I spoke to the Pebbly beach heliport nearby and assured him I would be less than 200' MSL, staying close to Avalon and not higher than 125' MSL near the cruise ship mooring area, nowhere close to their helipad. They were OK with that. The Catalina airport is 6mi away, so that's no problem.That being said, I'm not sure if there are any ground based laws in Avalon.
