Avalon on the island of Catalina. It's the one and only town on the island and there isn't really anywhere else to go. People use golf carts to get around. There are no gas stations on the island, so if you do have a car, you have to import your own fuel or use the marina.
Miniscule car infrastructure + laws limiting the number of cars on the island = no car culture. Bam.
Yeah, I've been there. Unless you need to haul stuff around the island there doesn't seem to be a huge need for an actual car.
And theres very little flat on that entire island
