Recent coastal storms have caused beach erosion along the north end of the island. Â Thankfully, the dune system remains intact- a vital source of protection along Seven Mile Beach.
The Borough of Avalon continues to be responsive, and is working with the State of New Jersey on a restoration project by the spring.

In the meantime:
8th and 9th Street- open access (including the vehicle access road from 9th Street).
10th Street- I was able to walk up the path from the beach yesterday, but the street side of the path is fenced off/closed.
11th to 14th Street- the paths are closed for safety reasons.
15th Street and south- paths open for beach access.
Otherwise, the beaches along Avalon and Stone Harbor are in great shape.
Will continue to post updates from my beach walks and beach drives!
