There’s some confusion with notices from the Borough of Avalon Licensing Department regarding rental registrations.
With the system now fully on line, there is an opportunity to complete the required registration for the 2027 season.

In prior years, these notices were mailed out in the fall. The new system will allow landlords to process the paperwork at their convenience well in advance of the new year.
The sand back passing project this spring initially allowed the north end beach paths to open, however, the storms over the Memorial Day weekend caused further erosion.
The Borough of Avalon had to make the decision to close the damaged paths for safety reasons.
There is an established walking path that runs along the dune line for access to 9th Street and 15th Street for the open/guarded beach locations.
The post on the Borough’s web site states that the beach access situation is unlikely to change until after the planned beach fill this summer.

Our experience here on the island mirrors these statistics.

Although our local municipalities planned to enforce the new regulations regarding e-bikes (aka pedal assist bikes), those of us who own e-bikes are unable to complete the tasks.
We secured the required liability insurance (not easy to find!). However, the NJ Division of Motor Vehicles could not issue registration cards. The clerk at the DMV (when we arrived for our scheduled appointment) said they are still “waiting for instructions from Trenton”. Frustrating!
I understand the need to enforce safety standards- especially with the number of young people riding the bikes. Setting age and helmet requirements, as well as making sure the riders follow the rules of the road are the more logical steps.

Reminder to purchase your seasonal beach tags by May 31st for the reduced rate.
Tags are $37 now; $42 as of June 1st . Avalon and Stone Harbor tags are reciprocal.
Every weekend, we see more seasonal shops and restaurants re-opening.
The street trees along the business district are in full bloom. Our windy days ahead will create “spring flurries” of the white flowers.
Only 5 more weeks until Memorial Day weekend 🙂
The annual Easter Sunday Sunrise service will be held at the 30th Street pavilion overlooking the beach in Avalon NJ.
The ecumenical service, hosted by the local churches in Avalon and Stone Harbor, begins at 6am.
Steamy!
Cooler by a Mile will hopefully hold up for the holiday weekend 🙂
